Any reason as to why pre-'90 springs? I'm running '94 9C1 springs on my car and, after checking out several different combos between 1977 and 1989, these '94 parts offer the best performance.

Remember, the '91-up cars are heavier so these springs are a little bit stiffer.

Hey Silicon how you doing thanks for the reply! I heard the 90 and earlier were stiffer than the later?

The '94s are the stiffest springs I've had on the car.

No kidding, well maybe I should give those a try. Sure would make my search easier. And being the rears are so easy to pull in and out I don't mind experimenting a little. How's the height on 'em? Taller, shorter, same?

I think scott is correct on this spring issue....older springs are stiffer.

if you can find them .post back were purchased scott appears to be on the mark with the suspension work/technic.
