[Ciaran76 1]

Can anyone recommend a retailer who still sells the standard 1.9 gti front springs?

 

Thanks

I think you should be able to get some from a good motorfactors.

I have a set for sale that have been blasted and painted. Drop me a pm if you're interested

I've tried a number of places but for some reason there seems to be only 1 spring left - KYB something or other. Don't want to go down the route of lowering springs.

 

Thanks for the offer of the used ones, I'll keep that in mind.

peugeot is the only place you'll get the proper ones.

They don't have any available anymore.

There's 3 springs for injection 205's still available, though I don't know which colour code they should be on the gti.

 

5002 37 / T1 and 33 are the ones not marked NFP.

Hmm, the numpty on the phone said non available.

Finally got my springs fitted although the car looks more like a 4x4 205 to be honest. It would need to settle by about 2 inches!

Which did you get?

Some Cti's that I have seen sit at a 4x4 stance. Maybe you have a pair of them?

Hmm not sure, ordered them from England. I did measure them and they seemed to match the standard size.

there are standard sachs springs at carparts4less.co.uk. £41.40 each.

I'll leave these for a week or two and see how they settle, if no change I'll ditch them and move to another brand.

there is a fair bit of air between the wheel and arch with standard springs, but they all need to settle in too, so as you say, give it a week or so....

I've taken a photo, honestly - I could get my head in there lol I'll try and upload it now.
