FOR SALE: Rear Springs
See http://slsconversion.com/w123_Perf_Springs.php
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.

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.
