I have a chance to pick up some Mopar Performance Road Race springs for 84-86 Daytona/Laser. Would these fit my 1989? If not, could I at least use the rear ones? I need to stiffen up the rear of this car in an attempt to get some traction! Hopefully this might be the ticket. Let me know! Thanks in advance.

if you need a really stiff rear, then mp springs won't work....eibach 2804's have a 330lb-in rate compared to the mp springs at like 200lb-in!

Yeah, but I can't get Eibach's for the price I got these for. Plus, anything is better than worn-out stock springs with 150k+ miles on them. They weren't bad with only 150hp through a slush-o-matic. Now that I'm running with a 5-speed and over 100hp more, it's really becoming apparent. Plus I'm not looking to race the car... it has to stay somewhat comfortable to drive.

I can't seem to find any info on the Eibachs. However, I also can't seem to find any info on these Mopar springs either. For the small amount that I paid for them, they're worth a shot. I'd love to find out if they'll lower the car at all.
