I got the local autoshop to order me some new compatible coil springs, he came up with KYB K-Flex RA1370 coils springs, for an XR2 1.6. (£42 a pair , 2019 prices). The car passed it's MOT. It seems a lot harder (unfortunately, as I live in the country and I feel the bumps) The car does seem to be slightly higher (they were about 300mm long and 10.4 mm thick coils) Thanks for all your help and suggestions. Is it worth keeping the old red spring for anyone (the unbroken one!), or has it had it's life now?
