Good day. I am the owner of a 2008 Saturn Astra XE

joined this site as I am having difficulty finding some parts for my aging car.

Check out RockAuto

Drill down to your engine size as the springs do differ.

I saw cheap moogs and some others available.

Would suggest you change both so that spring rates are the same on both sides unless you can verify the OEM and Moog spring rates are close.

They only seem to come in pairs anyway.

They also have AC Delco , not the OE part ; those are of course more expensive.

Pretty sure you want a constant rate spring on the front

They don't seem to have a listing for springs there.

Also, why did you edit my post and change ASTRA to AURA?

your post said neither it said 2008 ; XE

-- from your other post, I determined it was an Aura --

Sorry -- we all make mistakes
No harm intended

My statement about springs was obviously for an Aura -- now to go look at why I thought it was one.....

Odd, maybe I forgot to put ASTRA.

Hard to find springs for these that are aftermarket and OEM rated unless I wanna get some to lower my ride, but I find it's already low enough.

thanks derf, no apologies needed. thought I had missed something

Cheers
