hoobby Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) Just need to know if same rear springs across-the-board or do the exclusives have different ones. Edited June 3, 2018 by hoobby Numbnuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Exclusive are different to GT/e, which are different to 1.8, which i think are different to early B 1.6/1.9/2.0 Oh and hatch and coupe rears are different too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoobby Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Well though I would measure other side to find yes that is also snapped so does anyone know the specs on standard springs front and back for an exclusive?.or where I can source some?.

cam.in.head Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 To be perfectly honest they will more than likely be fine. Ive swapped springs on b series ( cavaliers asconas and mantas )and never noticed any difference in ride height by using saloon ,coupe or hatch rear springs in either model .this is mk1 cav thou mainly and manta gte rear springs ars far as I know are a bit stiffer and lower.thats on original factory fit. Aftermarket springs are a different ballgame.if you are fitting brand new gm then yes get the correct ones but anything other is a guessing game re ride height unless you saw the car they came out of .used springs as a matching pair should be fine and should be cheap enough anyway to fit and see. That’s the good thing about rear springs they are 10 mins a side to fit compared with fronts. The springs Garymanc has should be ok ,I’m not sure if those markings are gm thou or aftermarket but I’m sure he will tell you how the car sat that they came out of .hes an honest well respected member . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymanc Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Thinking now these were never on my car I bought them with a job lot of parts from that crashed 400r a few years ago they were sold to me as standard springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way, that’s unbelievably bad luck. Good luck with the hunt for the front pair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
