According to my research a few years back (only just spotted it on my notice
board).............
KYB;
Front springs - RA 1370 is 1.6 XR2 at 290mm long
- RA 1196 is 1.1 to 1.4 at 308mm long
Dampers are the same across the range.
Rear springs – NOT XR2
- RA 5045 – 10mm thick – 307mm long
- RA 5288 – 11mm thick – 295mm long but stiffer – listed
for fiesta van (heavy duty) – I’ve got these on the rear of my saloon as I
sometimes needed to carry a drum kit...

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Re: Coil springs 2+2
I got the local autoshop to order me some new compatible coil springs, he came
up with KYB K-Flex RA1370 coils springs, for an XR2 1.6. (£42 a pair , 2019
prices). The car passed it's MOT. It seems a lot harder (unfortunately, as I
live in the country and I feel the bumps) The car does seem to be slightly
higher (they were about 300mm long and 10.4 mm thick coils) Thanks for all your
help and suggestions. Is it worth keeping the old red spring for anyone (the
unbroken one!), or has it had it's life now?

The 2+2 failed its MOT today with just a broken front coil spring, I tried
telling the MOT guy that Quantums have dual springs on the front but he didn't
seem to believe me. I guess this repeats an old train of posts,but I've trailed
through them and can't find a cheap answer ! (I don't want to change to
adjustable Spax). I appear to have red quantum springs, Off the car they
measure about 262mm by 107mm diameter. Is there a modern equivalent to put on
which is about the same size/tension etc? I believe that the Quantum red
springs are no longer available? Thanks Tony
