I have a question for the group….

Later in the summer, I want to get the front coil springs replaced. First, with my car being a 138CD, it uses a little heavier spring than the 120s. I have found two places where I can get the correct springs.

One is Kanter, the other is A1 Shock Absorber Co. Kanter is significantly less expensive. I know Kanter gets good reviews on a lot of things, but I’ve also heard a lot of concerns regarding other parts.

So, with that in mind, I’d like to hear everyone’s thoughts on the coil springs. Any concerns with quality from Kanter. The price with Kanter is just over $400 for the pair. A1 is just under $600 for the pair.

I would also like to replace the rear leaf springs. The only place I have found so far for those is Eaton Detroit Springs. They said they have the specs for the 138CD.
