Cheers Ste,
first one gives some nice and very useful diagrams but unfortunately neither links seem to give free length or load ratings which is what I'm struggling to find
Even joined ITOC to see if there was any relevant info and so far, none that I can find sadly....

Is it just me or do you have a habit of posting things for sale juuust after people need'em. 
I would have had them if I hadn't recently put new coils and spacers on 
Just out of interest, how much?

To forum members they would be £135 a pair + £8.95 P&P if needed However if ordered in the next two weeks P&P would be free as I can have them sent straight from the manufacturer which will save me the additional courier costs.
Cam, when you say "Mark 4" what year is it ? They should fit all Troopers from 1993 to 2004.

I did post this info many many moons ago, don't know if it helps, lists the OME range but no info on the 929's
Part #, Free Hight, # Coils, lbf/in spring rate, (application)
OME912, 420 mm, 10.8, 180-300 (medium load Trooper 92-02)
OME913, 390 mm, 9.3, 180-300 (medium Amigo/Rodeo 5door coil spring 98-02)
OME919, 430 mm, 10.8, 200-280 (heavy load Trooper 92-02)
bar diameter is same for each. 913 has lowest coil weight, 912 is + 0.8Kg and 919 is + 0.9Kg.
I verified the application guide is correct as it pertains to the OME912 and OME913 part numbers with a Rep at ARB-USA who cross checked for any updates.
I also cross checked in the Oct 2005 International Application guide and the specs are identical number for number, only the applications are listed as follows;
OME912 (medium load GM Frontera 95-98) and (medium Jackaroo/Monterey 92-2/2001)
OME913 (medium load GM Frontera 99+ 5 door)
OME919 (medium Jackaroo/Monterey 3/2001 - 04, Heavy load Jackaroo/Monterey 92-2/2001)
Part #, Free Hight, # Coils, lbf/in spring rate, (application)
OME912, 420 mm, 10.8, 180-300 (medium load Trooper 92-02)
OME913, 390 mm, 9.3, 180-300 (medium Amigo/Rodeo 5door coil spring 98-02)
OME919, 430 mm, 10.8, 200-280 (heavy load Trooper 92-02)
bar diameter is same for each. 913 has lowest coil weight, 912 is + 0.8Kg and 919 is + 0.9Kg.

Soon to be without a Frontera after 10 years of owning one
