Rear suspension spring

Forum: 

Hello guys!
im having a reet old palava trying to get a replacement rear offside suspension coil spring! the one that i removed seemed to have a different diameter at one end to the other, ive ordered replacement springs from ebay and they all seem to have have equal diameters both ends.....arrrhh! any ideas? its a 1997 Charade G200 4 door 1.3 auto ( at the moment!) i need to get a replacement so i can get it back on the road.
what do you guys think?
cheers for any help in advance!

Different types coil springs

For the same vehicule they can be different types of springs available, each offering specific features. Doesn´t necessarily mean that beacuse yours was fitted with what seems to be a miniblock spring according to your description, another type of spring will not suit the purpose (i.e linear according to your desscription)

Here is a link to understanding different types and their features to help you choose.
