Post up that pic next time somebody says on here that springs don't wear out or go bad.

Looks like perfect drop springs! Already 1/4 of the coil off! Just match the other one...

Nah. Then I'd have to get 20" rims, a crown air freshener, and drape a flag over my hood.

And if that's what I think it is, replace that 3rd World spray&pray POS in your avatar with something American, like maybe a M-1.

I assure you, I'm quite effective with an M4.

I hope the moog springs retain the same ride height. As it is my exhaust is a little low.

Your thoughts, Sofa?

They should at least be close. (to what the others were as OE, not after their "adaptation")

What?!? You don't have a crown air freshener?!?

I'll admit it...When I was first putting my car together to try and get it road worthy, I got a front set of springs from J.C. Whitney! Believe it or not, they weren't bad at all...maybe a tad taller than stock. Who knows what brand they were...I can't read Chinese...
