2.0 CDTI GTC rear springs - connorholmes - 18:th-Aug-2018

Hi, 

I have a 2.0 CDTI SRI GTC and today noticed one of my rear springs has broken, so it's time to replace them both. Does anyone know the part number for the rear springs on the GTC, and if they are the same as the 5 doors? I am right in thinking that the SRI springs are shorter than the standard ones, aren't I?

Links to buy the springs would be even better! Just after GM or OEM spec springs, nothing that would lower the car.

Thanks!

Hi, yes SRI springs are 10mm shorter.

Have a look on GSF put your reg in and look at the springs on there, there is a discount code for 58% off WKD58.

But please double check it by putting your reg in you'll get the 2 for £65.

Thanks for the link and discount code.

That part does seem to fit based of my reg but GSF also shows another spring (Part No. 511GM1450) that will fit my car. Now if I don't put my reg in, and instead choose the make, model, year and engine, it doesn't mention the SRI as a separate category anywhere in the lists, so the I imagine one spring will be for SRI and one will be the longer springs?

Is the link you sent me for the shorter SRI springs?

I believe it is yes. the only difference I see between the 2 is the price.

I fitted the ones I link to above on my 5-door and it was the shorter one.

If in doubt they have a live chat in bottom right just ask they are very helpful.

Perfect, if they're good enough for you I will just get them ordered. Will report back if I have any problems.
