Just for interest, and in case useful to others, my saloon has 1.1/1.4 springs
on the rear with spacers between body and progressive rubber bump-stops. Best
of both worlds, good comfort two-up but happily accepts two rear passengers or
150Kg in the boot without issues. I suppose a good upgrade might be progressive
rear springs...
Best regards

Group 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
