I'm replacing the front bushings, ball joints, etc and I have the old springs out. It's a 90' RS 3.1 EFI with about 185k miles and needs paint. Do you think I should put new front coil springs in it? 2 buddies said no? The cost adds up, but I don't want to regret later that I didn't do it. What would you do ? All the suspension and steering is original.

I'd put new Moog 5660s in, drive for a few weeks so they can settle in, then decide about cutting them.

whats your budget? are you wanting to lower it? or change the stance? It's really depends what YOU want. The springs may be a lil softer and sag a lil but are you unhappy with anything spring related? I would only change them if you need or want something different as far as ride or ride height.

A coat of paint (like POR15) would be a good idea while you are in there. Did it to mine, looks nice, and stops rust.

I want to get a front end alignment.

I'm not trying to change anything on the car, just wanted to know if I should replace the springs while I have them out.

Just use them over.

Only replace them if they don't have the same compression rate as they originally did. A shop should be able to test it out for you.

Thanks!
