Hi All,
About 2 months ago I replaced both rear springs as they both had snapped. After ringing round a few places, I swerved the dealers at £120 each including VAT for eurocar parts at £60 including VAT. I went for the sashs springs as they were the more expensive of the 2 available.

Once I had fit them I stood back and thought the rear of the car looks high. I appreciate that they are new springs, so I thought that they needed to bed. Also the car had been on ramps all day so I thought I would let everything settle and just keep my eye on them. They did lower, but not as much as I would have liked.
I didn't really think about it too much until I took it to be 4 wheel aligned, where the garage rang me and asked me if the suspension had been changed as they couldn't get it down to the height required to run the laser (or whatever they do). They did however manage to get it into the height range required to run after using every weight at their disposal.
So I thought I would come to you guys and do a bit of digging. Have I dropped a bollock here by not getting the springs from the dealer? Has anyone bought springs from eurocar parts and had any complaints? I have enclosed some pictures for you to peruse and give me your comments on.
Thank you
