A cheeky favour to ask. Spring measurement

Post by Martay »

Hi,
Im looking at getting a set of the spring assistors for the rear of my cav when towing. They are sold by measuring the gap between the coils when the car is jacked up.
My question is, if anyone has their car jacked up, or a rear coil spring off the car, if they could measure the gap for me pleeeeease? :cheers
