IROC Rear Springs......

I just pulled my '87 IROC rear springs. They were marked with a sticker with a part number 10018091, I think? Are these wimpy or what? Do the GTA's or 1LEs have better rear springs than these? What are the GM part numbers for those springs? Are the Eibach rear springs better for all round performance and can they drop the car an inch or so? Part number? Any thoughts? I drag the car and AutoX occasionally.......

Thanks!

I'll take the springs if you don't want them.
or I'll trade you for other GM springs that I have.

the springs are reletively the same parts through out all the camaros, YES they do have small differances but they are basically the same. If you want to lower your car 1 1/2 inches get springs, they will have increased load ratio. Meaning they will ride harder and give less. Though when you get these I recomend getting lowered shocks/struts.

However I doubt that the Iroc and the 1le are any different.

I've got the pro-kit in my car its pretty good. For both drag racing and SCCA. My car understeers alot less now with the prokit. THe only ****ty thing is that my car has roll now. Because with the Intrax springs my car was bottomed out all the time. So it was good for drifting. But bad for handling.
