Front suspension springs

Post by jody67 » Mon Jun 22, 2015 1:43 pm

One of my springs has bust on my 2001, 1.6, 3 door Grand Vitara. I can't find a replacement on ebay and my 2 local car spares shop can't find a listing for one either. Every other engine size except the 1.6.
Can anyone tell me if any of the other models fit?
Thanks
Jody

I can't believe it. The front coil springs on my 2001, 1.6 are a dealer only part.
I can get the springs for any other model, anywhere, but not the 1.6.
Thought this would have been the easiest one to get them for as the 1.6 is the most popular one on the roads, or all I seem to spot.
Oh well, it's either, pay through the nose at the Suzuki Dealer or off to the breakers.

Phoned dealer.
They don't have any in, and it will be approx 3 weeks and £120.00 plus VAT.
Off to the breakers it is then.
