Hi all, hope every one is having a good Christmas so far, I've just been thrown a curve ball, my front passenger side coil spring has just snapped.

I have a few questions, do I have to replace in pairs as advised by euro car parts, or can I get away with one, the other is could some one please tell me the discount code for euro car parts as I can't get FFSTUK25 to work.

I've looked at the how to thread and I reckon I'm able to tackle this one myself, as trying to keep costs down is a goal at the mo!

Cheers

I would definitely change both, the other is just as likely to go.......!!

We no longer get discount with Euro CP unfortunately

Hope you get her sorted quickly and cheaply thumbs

Always go in pairs, never singulars.

Are they standard springs? Would be an excuse to get some upgraded items!

Thanks guys, I will have to do some shopping around to get a good price for two. They are standard springs but I can't really afford upgrades at this time jack, thanks though.

I replaced the one spring when my drivers one went.
Didn't look uneven and had no problems.

I'm getting offers from Euro CP in my mailbox all the time. So it seems they have good discounts on a regular basis.
