Lollypop Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Am really struggling to find these. Need 2 urgently. Been quoted £310 not inclusive of labour. Read something about Fiat Brava being used. I have a 2012 1.4 m air se 5dr, any help be greatly appreciated. Tried EBAY, breakers yards etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rossocorsa Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) All done when I've driven it I'll advise how it feels. Springs under £60 the Pair incl vat, it didn't take too long for the garage to change them maybe a couple of hours.

0 Rossocorsa Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 The part for 2 litre is Suplex 09207, seems pretty good close, possibly identical, to original. These will probably be too stiff for petrol versions or the 1.6. They seem to be standard 2.0 Bravo spec i.e. without sports suspension. That was my only worry that they'd be lower than the back but they are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rossocorsa Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Just to update, it drives perfectly on the bravo springs they are definitely near identical to OE Nello 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Nello Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Mikey (above) should be along soon and may be able to give you the part number as he has the same car - Just use a Bravo spring. Use my mate Paul Gilbert at MotorMech in central Birmingham - http://www.motor-mech.co.uk/index.asp Paul has looked after all my cars for years including my Delta. Top bloke.

0 MikeyRules Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 As said earlier in the thread I didn't get a part number unfortunately. Just use a reg number off a late registered (2007 - 2014) Fiat Bravo 1.6/2.0 diesel off Autotrader or eBay and use that to order the springs. They're identical and cheap as chips!

0 pokerwork Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Just adding a note on my experience with the springs. When I bought my car, 2012 1.4 Multiair, in 2016 it had had the offside rear one replaced. The nearside rear duly broke in 2017 and since I needed to get it back on the road quickly I purchased replacement from Chrysler but at the same time ordered a full set of the Eibach springs since I knew sooner or later based on the comments on this Forum that I'd have a problem with the fronts. They were being quoted as out of stock at Eibach at the time hence the decision to get one from the local Chrysler dealer. The Eibach springs took several weeks to arrive but they did eventually (£124 for the four) and since then have been sitting in the garage but sure enough a couple of weeks ago the front nearside spring broke so this gave me the opportunity to replace all four with the Eibachs. I've attached some photos to show before and after and I think it's clear there's a definite lowering. Unfortunately I wasn't organised enough to actually measure anything! They are noticeably stiffer and I'll keep an eye on them to see if they lower any more as they settle in. Nello and TJB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Nello Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Yes I've seen those Andrew but cannot find anyone with a Delta who has had them fitted - look suspiciously cheap to me. I even asked on the Italian Delta FB page. I had Eibachs on my old Fiat Coupe and although more expensive were always the best compromise in ride and lowered quality.

0 ForzaLancia Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 How are people getting on with tyre wear on lowered springs? My Pirellis need replacing at 10k miles due to wear on the inner shoulder, rest of the tyre looks great. On H&R lowered springs but budgeting £200 a year on tyres is not good!

0 ForzaLancia Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 for reference, I have measured the ride height of my spring/wheel tyre combination from the wheel centre to the underside lip of the wing. With H&R springs, 18in wheels and a 2.0 lump the distance is 340mm at the front and 350mm at the rear. The car IMHO rides too low, speed humps cannot be straddled, country lanes have to be tackled with care as the crown of the road can catch the under tray. It would be useful if other combinations can be posted on here to help owners make an informed decision on what springs to buy.
