I have nothing against ESM and use them regularly, but be aware that price is not everything. Sometimes more expensive is better quality and therefore better value. I stress that I am not casting any doubt on ESM's offering.

Do you want the best price or the best springs?

I notice the ESM springs for the traveller have the proper retaining straps holding the leaves together. Whereas some springs have a wrap around steel bands over a rubber sleeve, doing that job. A poor cost cutting substitute, that should be avoided.

I should be looking for best quality as I have spent alot to get the car to the present condition and will be keeping my Traveller. It is also intresting to hear about the improved ones rather than the cheaper ones, not being in the know with these springs many thanks.

These are arguably the best that you can buy, certainly not cheap though. I wouldn't expect to replace them in my lifetime. https://www.rossroadsprings.co.uk
