Need front Springs

[Da Dark Jedi]

Hi guys, I'm looking to buy Front springs for my 1997 Q45. The ones I have on the car is broken at the botton (one coil). I want OEM ride just not the price. Any after market springs that you can recommend.

Hi guys a quick BUMP to this thread. My springs need replacing!!! I want OEM ride but with out the price tag. Are there any recommendations? The price I was quoted was $142 each + S/H. Thanks..

That's pretty cheap. Your alternative is the junkyard. http://www.car-part.com ...search the southern territories you don't want springs from the salty snowy areas.

I haven't seen very many oem replacement options (other than used) for FGY33 springs. I.O.S. sells them for $141.66 which is the same price you were quoted.

Don't forget to keep checking the classifieds section. Someone may be parting out a car.

You can also check with nico member audiovisiony33. He usually has stuff for sale:

The only other threads I remember were for the Espelir,Tein springs or other lowering springs. I know you want oem, but in case you're curious about other spring prices:

Hi Again:

I know of a person parting out a 98 Q that still has the front spindles and springs. I just pulled some trim pieces off it this past wknd. He is in Beach Park, so it's a little drive from Chicago, but his prices are dirt cheap if you pull the parts yourself. Just bring a set of strut spring compressors and snug them down as much as you can (you can rent them for free at your local auto parts place) floor jack and a jackstand (or two): undo the front spindle/strut assembly from the car and then carefully undo the top nut of the strut cartridge and viola, you have a set of OE springs. Might also grab the strut mounts and bearings if they are still in decent shape.

Search on craigslist under "Q45" and you will find him. There are still many other parts on this car left. Good luck and let me know if you need to have these springs installed as well. I have a wall mounted spring compressor so I can do this job no problem.
