Used Rear Springs and Dampers

[callumk5]

I have just removed a pair of "standard" (not Nivomat) springs and dampers from my 240 estate, having bitten the bullet and shelled out for more Nivomat shocks and put the original springs back on.

The springs and dampers pictured are therefore surplus and available if anyone would like them. They were fitted in 2010 and have covered less than 5000 miles since. The springs are in their original boxes pictured (I kept the original springs in them) made by a company called K.M.E. They were supplied by Euro Car Parts. The dampers are Boge and in excellent order and don't rattle in use. Quite what is 'automatic' about them I never managed to figure out.

I fitted them in place of the original failed Nivomats because it was by far the cheaper option to replacing like for like, but I found the ride unacceptably hard when the car was empty. When loaded the car stayed level, even with 4 up and a boot full of camping kit, and the ride was much improved. If you are looking for a firmer, more contemporary ride, these would suit very well.

Looking on the GSF website new springs and dampers cost £115.20, so I would be happy to sell these for £50.

Anyone interested please get in touch, otherwise I shall keep them for future 240 projects.
