Broke the car out of winter hibernation today so was swapping out wheels and noticed the O/S rear spring pig tail was broken.

Anyone have a spare one sitting or even better a pair they are looking to sell?

Needed pretty quick as i've got Snetterton at the end of the month.

Cheers,

Believe it or not I had a guy request we do this to his car last year

A 2000 e55 amg, on the front ( too primitive to tun a Mac strut)
I carefully cut the last coil off, refitted and it looked pretty good.
Surprisingly it drove good too

I did advise him against it purely from a professional point of view, but it's a tried and tested method from the good ole days



And what's this cutters site you talk of;)
