Hmmm, been through all of this with dear old M515 many years ago. I fitted used springs which always broke after another few years, the last occasion, before buying new front springs , the car had been static, in the garage for four years. when I came back to use the car , the front spring had broke...

Truly , I must be the best unpaid sales rep they've never had , a good product sells itself though.
