Just because VB sells one part for both doesn't mean the factory did the same!
The aftermarket spring manufacturer(s) may not have bothered to make two
almost-identical spring models.
TRF lists two distinct springs:
311539 For KV and 1500 Spits
308499 For MK II and III GT6
Interestingly, the GT6 version is cheaper.
No guarantee that TRF has either in stock :-(
