i am wondering where i can get new front springs for my 72 Ascona. i got shock but am slowly going through the rest of the front suspension. any ideas?

I didn't realize that they went bad. I know GT rear springs give after a while, but, I have never had problems with Manta/Ascona springs. You can get "lowering" springs from possibly OGTS, or the German Ebay.

Original or OEM?
CC? 1.2 or 1.6>

Are the GTE springs shorter? Or stiffer?

Cost to the US shipped?

As i know stiffer .....since all of the original ones have the same height but their thickness has to do with small frequency of oscillation

As for air mail will be at about 70 euros

As for stock ..........125 sets (3 codes)
