when you take the top nut off they shoot across the floor just like the 510 ones and ford escort ones.etc... If I remember right/or will give you the idea. 1 I think the lenght of spring much the same(different models have more coils) 2 510 spring= 1/2" spanner fits on the coil 3 240KGT(C110) 5/8" spanner fits the coil
Thats only to give you a idea if them being a bigger spring in the C110.""NOT THE REAL SIZE""... 180K,240K,240KGT have different springs,front and rear. I've always been a boy racer so bigger spring for heavy car into light car makes for no body roll...(works well) (Y). Ever been for a hoon in a R32GTR with Tein ajustable's and Tein springs,,,to give you a idea you feel every stone in the road. But not with 240K stuff in your 510,they rock with little cost..
