    Springs you may have to contact USA Opel or OGTS for used or check overseas at Splendid Parts.com for new.
    Brakes should be avaiable through Rock Auto.com, Auto Zone, Napa etc., or the 2 sources above.
    Is your Kadett a 1.9?

    Jakob,

    Are you looking for stock springs or performance stuff?

    Jakob,
    You do realize I'm probably only an hour's drive north of you.

    Shocks and such can be sourced by having the parts stores look up parts for a 1.1 69 Opel GT. The brake calipers are probably different, but for the 1.1 I'm not sure, unless you have front drums. Anyways why do you feel you need to replace the front spring? I've never seen one go bad unless damaged in an accident.

    They all looked like they were cracked when I looked at them

    That would probably be a first. Try cleaning them with a wire brush and see if the cracks disappear.
