I got some standard hight springs from the forum and noticed that one had a split at the end. Is this unsafe to use?

difficult to say wether its safe or not, if its fractured then possibility is its more likely to fracture again. is it equal in length to the other spring?

hmmm just saw the other pictures.They are far from ideal........... standard springs arent that expensive anyway, id prob just go with new.

I thought gt turbo springs were hard to get though? I thought all you could get was campus springs?

im sure that when i brought my springs they cost all in about £92 i think and that was from euro car parts the summer just gone.
can you get them anymore?im not to sure,my springs looked the same as well :(one side of the car was lower than the other you can tell pretty much straight away,which lead me to get new springs in the 1st place.

I have pm'd the seller. See what he says. He is a good guy on the forum and had parts off him before with no trouble.

@JRP..that would be good of you buddy. Many thanks.
