Hi,
I've discovered that one of the rear coils on my 2003 2.5i has broken. I'm happy to keep ride height the same, and definitely dont want it any firmer.
It looks as though previous recommendations are for Suplex springs, can anybody confirm if 06228 is the correct part number, or how I can confirm?
Any recommended suppliers?

Thanks again,

John
 
Thanks very much. Last question!
What does 'with options' refer too? Mine is standard apart from 18" wheels and cruise control retro fitted so I wouldn't have thought these mattered?
From the specs I can find online the length, diameter and height and weight are the same for 06228 and 06227, with the only difference being a very small difference in the wire diameter (.2mm)
Any advantage or should I just stick with the recommended 06227?

Cheers
 
I would suppose the options would include those item from a Base model, like A/C, electric roof motor, upgraded stereo or anything that would increase the weight of the car.
Some of these weren't included in all countries and we're optional extras.

As for which springs maybe search on here for those numbers and see what other people have previously bought.
 
Got new springs fitted today, I ended up getting KYB in the end as others have fitted these and seem happy with them, and the Suplex were only available mail order. I need the car for work this week so needed to get it sorted asap.
Thanks to those who replied 👍
