Posting this for info for anyone who needs to get new standard spring on a budget .
Had two springs brake last week ( one front and one back)
So out came the tools
Googled them and found out that the front are the same as a vectra c 1.9cdti
So no probs there.
Front. Kyb RH2661. £18 each.
The rear on the other hand are unique to the croma axle weight 1030kg
Kyb RH6388 £69 each.
So did a bit googling
Vectra c 1.9 cdti hatchback. Rear axle weight. 960kg. (To soft)
Vectra c 1.9 cdti estate. Rear axle weight. 1230kg (to hard)
Signum 1.9 cdti 03-08 plate. Rear axle weight. 1130 kg (closest match)
As I have a tow bar fitted I figured it weights about 50-60ish kg so the signum ones would be about right
Priced them up and there were only £30 each
So fitted.
Kyb. RH2661 on front £18. Vectra croma ones
Kyb RJ6217 on rear £30. Signum. Ones
Kyb catalogue http://www.kyb-europe.com/pdf/2013-coil-springs.pdf#page151
Car sits and drives fine and iam happy .will try and post pic .
Hope this help someone in the future
