Hi Guys,

I was given this set of springs to suit the rear of a 1600 but I am usure of the poundage.

They are red and have RDR2 on them.

Any ideas where they may have come from.

Cheers,

Matt

They sort of look the same colour as Eibach springs. Pedders springs are red but these look are more morone in colour...

Cheers Nick,

I got them from my brother in law who had them for yonks and that seems to sound right.

Cheers

Matt

Do a google search for working out the spring rate of a spring. This will tell you what it is, everything else is just a guess.

Go and see a company that manufacturer or wind springs and ask them to measure the spring rate for you. I did that with the rear springs from my 1600 and then had them to make new springs. The springs that were on the car when I bought it were just cut down from an unknown car and were very rough and not legal as the were.
