Hi, one of the front springs on my kw v3's has snapped, just wondered if anyone had dimensions of the springs so I could cost alternatives. Going to call KW uk tomorrow and see what they will cost from them.

There must be some irony in the first part to fail on my French car being the part that's german lol

that doesn't look good at all. [MENTION=54177]coendek[/MENTION] does springs, give him a shout. How long did you have the KWs for?
 
They were on the car when I got them, but I believe around 4 years, it looks like the coating has come off around the bottom and its corroded and failed. The other side isn't nearly as bad, but the coating has splits in it and the corrosion has started, I'll sort the fronts and get a look at the rears whilst i'm at it.

Whats the easiest way to get the top mounts off the struts? impact gun or can you get a grip on the shaft?
