Have you tried Shop4Parts?

S4P will help. I have used KYG for springs before but on a 2021 car I would stick with a genuine replacement. I did have ne front spring replaced on myndaughters old seat as it was on its last legs and suprisingly I could not feel any imbalance. You might also be able to get a second hand spring froma 2021 car which might be OK as you keep a smae aged pair. You might also be lucky at blueprint.com

Yes; but did you actually speak to them? The website is not always up to date. I hope its not urgent if you are taking the AutoDoc route (n.b there are often AutoDoc discount codes associated with some YouTube content providers)

the site was showing the springs in stock, what surprised me was that they had options but everyone else (local factors etc) didn't. Not in any great hurry as the dealers want almost four times the price and still can't supply!

It may be worth a call to them; they know their stuff and can likely deal with alternate suppliers beyond the reach of the usual (factor) suspects.

Shop 4 Part are my go-to for suspension parts. I have their springs on both ends of my 2009 Panda Multijet. They fitted perfectly. I’m sure eBay has cheaper but you are likely to get sent parts for a 1.2 petrol.
