Hi All
My front coilover suspension has snapped about 1 full turn from the bottom and looks as though its been this way for a while judging by the rust on the open end. It was had to spot as the old snapped coil rotation was still there and even the garage hadn't spotted it.
(P.S I do not have ABC suspension just standard coil overs)
Options I can think of are:
Thanks

Options I can think of are:
- Simply remove the coilover, disassemble and replace with a new standard spring.
- Buy new spings all round and replace front and back, but go for a 30mm drop on the coils, I have used Eibach and H & R's before.
- Replace all corners with new adjustable aftermarket coilovers.
Thanks
