I've got a set of 1LE's with plenty of life left in them. $40 plus shipping. They will lower a stock car but if your springs are sacked, your ride height will probably stay the same. They will be definetly stiffer. I bought them to replace a set of Global West competition springs that came on my car because the Global West springs are very stiff. I liked the 1LE ride but didn't care for the stance. My Global West's are quite low.

will those work in my 2.5?

i know the v8s had diffrent springs the the v6 and duke,but
i dont know if the diffrence is just load capacity,or if they are diffrent sizes and shapes.

but if they work i might be interested,i need spring bad,mine are stock with over 140,000miles.


and is that for all four?

Sorry... didn't know these were going on a V6. The spring rate is to high.

its a 2.5,so its even lighter. are the rear springs diffrent?

i figure they dont have to hold the weight of v8 like the front ones do. they might work.

I've done a little investigating and there are too many combinations of springs to know for sure. I would think that the imbalance of a stiffer ride in back than the front would not be smart. IMHO
