These are super nice. I ran them less than 5K miles on my car, so almost new. Way more robust than normal springs, really no comparison.
$150 plus shipping. So, pretty decent savings. Includes rubber pads, which were purchased new at the time.
Selling because I will be going with HPN system down the road.
Does it make the ride any harsher? Handling tighter? Might be interested as long as it doesn't affect the ride quality too much.
EDIT: After mulling it over, I don't think I'm terribly interested... Mass back roads are such that I'm willing to deal with some body roll for a softer ride. This is a great deal for the right person, though.
Here is a link to when Greazzer installed these springs on his car for anyone who might be interested. He gives his verdict on them, including answering the questions I just posed.

I have these springs in the rear of my car and I didn't Notice a stiffer ride, but better handling and not as much "squat" with them when your loaded. But mine make an odd popping noise when loaded/unloaded quickly. A fairly now upgrade for the money, greazzer is giving someone a good deal.
Popping sound? I only noticed once or twice a sound which sounded like a thuuunnngggg ... I jacked up the car when this happened, got a spring compressor, and made sure that the bottom of the spring which has the 'cork screw' end of the spring was turned into the lower swing arm pocket. I think that noise was where the spring was trying to seat itself. After I seated it, it never had that noise again. I can say the car has a totally different ride with those springs, and I think it's a great upgrade. I practiced a few "James Bond" turns and those springs truly make a difference when making super sharp right or left hand turns. And yes, I priced these to sell them as they are barely priced above regular springs. These appear almost twice as thick as OEM springs.
I'm weakening... how much to ship?
PMed, I give up
