Might be a stupid question but I'm looking at prices for new coil springs (front axis) for my Renault Megane Mk2, for some reason on a supplier site its giving me two options that are very similar in size. Can anyone advice whether the difference is important? its marginal difference really. The shorter one is a bit cheaper.
Length [mm]: 396
Diameter [mm]: 12,5
Outer diameter [mm]: 156

Re: coil spring dimensions
Hope you are sorted Mexas,
Not a stupid question at all as I've just been caught out on this. The on-line recommended springs for my 1.6cc have 12.75 wire diameter where it should have been 12.5. Doesn't sound much but I fitted the 12.75s (they visually looked the same as originals) before I realised the mistake and it left me with a ride height far too high.
Check part against your VIN is the thing to do.
