Thread: Standard 90 300tdi CSW spring rates

It sagged to the passengers side most notably in the rear. I fitted new springs to the back. These were the same brand but all their specs had changed and were rated as +50 hd but actually had less winds in them, but this only fixed it a bit. So i reckon my fronts need doing too.

What still have at home is the old rear springs which for a csw which should be Heavy duty. Does anyone one know what lb rate standard springs are front and rear. If the rears are about the right rate then I might just throw them in front and see if that fixes it. It would certainly save a spend up.

Lots of OME and after market info, nothing for D90csw particularly, but some D90 references.
Are you weights even side to side or are your springs sagging unevenly?
