LLE/Bluestar - spring length

Post by **Titus A Duxass** » 15 Feb 2008, 15:40

I have in front of me a set of supposedly LLE/Bluestar front springs.

Does anyone know how long/high they are in a relaxed state?

The ones I have here are 35cm long/high.

I don't want to go ripping my bus in bits to find out if they are standard and the guy who is selling is pulling a fast one.

Cheers
Titus

Thanks for that but...

The ones I have here are without any form of colour coding.

Then your not looking hard enough or they ain't VW springs.

Confirmed that they are not LLE/Bluestar springs.
The sprng itself is made from 17,5 mm dia. steel which is for normal springs, the LLE springs are made from 18,5 mm dia. steel

Thanks to those that were helpful.
