My name is Stefan, I am from Romania and I am pasionate about the Opel brand and regularity rallies.
I currently own a 1969 Commodore A GS - sedan and a Rekord C 1700L from 1967.

I am at the point that I need to change the front and rear coil springs. I found a lot of threads on the forum about using KAW Federn - 40-50mm, but as I cannot read in german I use google translate, so I do not understand some of the information.

If someone could help me with an answer, I would deeply appreciate it :

So, my question is : If I install KAW springs 40-50 mm, using the standard wheels and tires (185/80/14), will the car sit too low and create problems with steering(front wheels touching the wheel arches) or hitting the ground ?

I understood that rubber lifters can be used with the KAW springs in order to keep the ride height close to original ?

Last, but not least : Is it possible to gen NEW ORIGINAL coil springs anywhere ?

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Very interesting forum, I can see that there is a lot of information available.
Hopefully I will be able to understand some of it.

@Joan I tried writing to o-t-r.de
They answered that the car with probably sit lower with the springs that they are selling.
I am not looking for that, I just want want the suspension to be a little stiffer. (I think the old springs have lost their specifications over time)

I suspect the same for mine, this information OTR should provide directly. Thanks
