It varies a bit, depending where it goes. Some failures can be more subtle than others. When mine let go the main thing I noticed was the noise, because the broken (single coil) was still in there and rattling like a shopping trolley. If can also feel quite obvious as you'll have different rate either side.

The car sits a little lower on one side.
Als the steering might pull to one side in a way when hard on the power! Just whip the rear wheels off and take a quick look! :thumbs:

Well I was on the track sat and sun and the CSL felt ok.
It was when i had the wheels off, doing brakes, Gaz seen the broken spring.
They are not old i have had 2 replaced already.
See pix :thumbs:

I suspect one side on mine as it does feel funny under hard acceleration, will take the wheel of this week and have a look :-D
