Checking on my stock of springs removed from previously dismantled vehicles, I find a choice of 3 different pairs:

42 cm long, 8 free coil turns, blue splash of paint, 12.5 mm wire

43 cm long, 8 free turns, no markings, 13.0 mm wire

43 cm long, 8 free turns, no markings, 14.0 mm wire.


All have come off estate versions, but I can't remember which.


Am I correct that the first are saloon, used in a light-load estate, second are normal estate, and the third are heavy-duty estate?

Which should I fit? I don't normally carry heavy loads, only occasionaly. Would the thicker ones be too hard for normal use?
