Can't find the KYB rear springs I want, LRO19982, have found these, what do you think?

https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/lr...20LR019982 Common sense isn't very common.

I'm not even sure Zebedee could answer your question.

Although I would be interested in the results of your selection of Spring/Shock combination.

They look good value (I'd go with Monroe) but I really don't see how one part number can replace two, that were clearly for specific uses. All the places I've looked also now only list these as a replacement for both original LR numbers.

If these springs are for models with glass roofs they’ll be too hard for tin roofed cars and vice versa. If I they’re somewhere between, then both tin and glassed roofed cars will have a compromised ride, either too soft or too firm!

" ......... either too soft or too firm! ..... "

What you need is the Goldilocks Spring.

I carry a lot of 'rear-end weight' and would be looking to sit at mid level, when fully loaded.

I wonder if this a case of every car coming out of the factory had to hit a certain ride height and a sliding tin roof tipped it outside limiting castor and camber settings that rather than it to do with the quality of ride. Just don’t go too cheap as cheap as cheap springs break. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Genuine ones on Ebay but not exactly cheap! eBay Item No. 132672869359. As a car gets older compromises have to be made as parts become harder to source. If you are replacing original springs then you will probably notice an improvement whatever springs you end up fitting! Good luck!

KYB shocks are on there way from Italy, £115.00 per pair delivered. Common sense isn't very common.
