2+2 rear shocks and springs

[Sonia]

After 23 years it is probably time to change the rear springs and shock absorbers on our 2+2, plus they came up as advisories on the last MOT. Just want to check we are looking at the right parts before we order

Rear springs

We have seen on previous forum posts that 1.1 Fiesta springs should be used which would make them KYB  RA5045     Diam 10 mm     Length 307 mm, or presumably equivalents? We have found cross references to FORD - OE-6132823, LESJÖFORS - OE-24047020, and MONROE: SP0686. We can buy a pair of the LESJÖFORS from onlinecarparts.co.uk for around £47 delivered

Rear shock absorbers

Research on the online KYB catalogue seems to show it is the same shock absorber for all engine sizes of both Mk1 and Mk2 Fiestas, ie KYB 332004 which are available on eBay for around £70 per pair delivered

So, the questions are

- are the above the correct parts for our 2+2?

- are the prices above competitive?

- are there equivalents to the KYB 332004 shock absorbers which are more cost effective? (Don't want/need anything fancy or adjustable. Have been happy with ride for over 100,000 miles with what we already have and would probably never get around to doing any adjustments anyway!)

We would welcome input from anyone with more knowledge than us (which is probably most of you)

Thanks

I got some r11007 Monroe's from a old stock place based in Italy just before lockdown for £35 delivered the pair! 

The seller was agmotordiginatoandrea.

I don't know if he has any more.

They were delivered very quickly.

I have nothing to do with them just a happy customer
