    Well they might work. It would help to know what years cause the spring hight varies.

    You really sure about that?

    If that link where the guy calculated his weapon-R spring rates applies to your application, your looking a a heady investment in sturts to have any hope of a decent ride and drive quality. If all you want is looks and don't care about ride quality, bounce, and handling I think your pretty much set. Even off the shelf Koni's(assuming tirerack still has some left) won't control springs that stiff correctly.

    Plus, just to make sure, you do know that when coilovers like that have in big words "DUAL SPRINGS" they are trying to get you to think they are dual rate, like progressive springs. If you dig deeper they point out that the other spring is a helper spring whose only job is to keep the main spring in place when the suspension is fully extended. So they are not progressive in any way, just to say it.

    hmmm, I was thinking Dual Springs where Progessive springs, opps my bad. heh. thanks for clearing that up. I dont wana get Revalved struts. would these be Decent for the Stockers? I got a heavy system, and I need something that Can hold muh rear up. but I dont wana be all jacked up. something that can be Adjusted. I want something all around, I dont want it to Float, I would like it To handle like a Porshe, with out taking out a loan.(hey we can all dream) something to give it a nice Aggressive Stance, with out burning a hole in my pocket, or eating up my tires.
