About a hundred quid premium over normal price for a pair of multileafs with the Capri club or equivalent suppliers, but
A) They look really really nice
B) They are available to buy right now
C) No one else like the club or Tickover seem to have any in stock.

If it was me I'd buy em.

In addition to Noel's post:

D) Owen are a quality brand.

Although it might be worth contacting the manufacturer direct on 01709 710700.

Thanks for all your replies. Are there any differences in rear leaf springs for Mk3’s? I believe 2.8i have single leafs but are 3.0 ones different to 2.0 rear leaf springs etc? Or are they all generic and would fit one another?

Many thanks

Some had single leaf, others had multi leaf - but they are interchangeable so singles will fit cars that came with multis and vice versa
