Well, I just got word from my other supplier, the specs are different than I was told by the first supplier I was buying through. They are a 1" drop initially, but will settle to no more than a 1.3" drop within a week. The spring rates are much softer too, they are around 300 lbs/inch in the front, and 320 lbs/inch in the back. They are still a progressive spring, much like the eibach, but lower priced. The price is now determined at $200 cdn including tax plus shipping to your address. I still need 20 sets to be sold in order for the manufacturer to make them again. So far confirmed with the new specs are 3 buyers: Mike M, 88 Pacifica, and Steve Z. Anyone else wanting them, please post, and send me a new PM, and I'll add you to the list. From the time that I have 20 people or more lined up, I will place the order, and it will take about 2 weeks for them to arrive in regina.

Thanks for you patience,

Steve I just replied in the other thread. Is there any way to expidite this? I need springs PDQ as I'm about to swap the struts. I'm putting 1,200 kms per week on the car just in highway driving to/from Regina, nevermind around town, and the struts need replacing ASAP. Instead of taking them out twice I'd prefer to do the spring swap at the same time.

I've been a lurker for ever here, but I'm pretty certainly I'd be good for a set of these. I'm in Bismarck, ND.
