As above - I want a full set of coils for the new Mooner, which is currently running on -35mm Eibachs. They do make it handle nicely but they are VERY firm and in addition we appear to live in Speedhump Central and it's an ache having to crawl over each lump at 0.1mph.

Alternative Autos are not listing any on their eBay site. ECP are offering Sachs ("or similar") at £170 the set. There are unbranded options on eBay but I don't fancy those much.

So, as per the title - what should I get, where from, and how much should I expect to pay?

Thanks.

New front springs are no longer available from Fiat. I got AAs last set a couple of years back but there must be others making them now.

Must admit I didn't think of trying Fiat - but then again if they are not making them any more, I guess no point.

Looks like it may be the Sachs ones from ECP then.

Have you tried ringing Alternative Autos? Sometimes they have items not listed on their ebay shop.

Thanks for the suggestion Gunzi, just tried that, they can only supply aftermarket springs now (following what Bockers said above I guess) in a brand called "Suplex" which I haven't heard of. They come out a fair bit dearer than the Sachs from ECP, so unless my local factors can do anything better I think that's where I'll be heading.
