Hi all.

Got an amber advisory on MoT that the rear coil springs are starting to corrode, so they will need to be replaced at some point.

Question is, are coil springs much of a muchness, or is there a difference in as much as you get what you pay for? Have seen prices range from £30 up to over £100. Is the extra really worth it or will it just make it a firmer ride?

Incidentally, Toyota quote £450 to complete the job.

Have always found the RAV4 ride good on motorways or other even surfaces, but a bit bumpy if there any bumps in the road. Am assuming this is normal as nothing to compare with.
