Front Shock Replacement Type
169 2004 1200 8 valve
Diameter of wire (mm)
12.6
(13.25)
Number of coils
4.09
(4.54)
Height of spring released (mm)
388.5
(403.1)
Brackets are if the car has Aircon
For example
At first glance
Doesn't look right, shorter, thinner wire, more turned
It's not as simple as that as the coil widths could also be different,

Thanks for that koalar. My car doesn't have AC so up to the autodoc link are you saying those dimensions are for the springs for my car.
Yes 
The dimensions I posted are right
The autodoc link was just to prove that they aren't all correct on there as it's miles out

I think I'll go down the eBay rout, but they don't give specific dimensions it just says this item fits your vehicle. I won't be buying them just yet as I won't be fitting them till the weather warms up, that way I'll be able to return them (hopefully if they are wrong)
If I buy them complete, they are a lot more expensive.
