Luckily, my car is a garage queen all Winter, but I'll be installing them soon -
Terry - are the springs you sent made by a different manufacturer?

I don't think they're the "golds", and they look just like the original set.

What diameter is the springs?If I sent you a 1.46 dia spring,it is a racing spring I bought from PEP.If it is a stock diameter and not the Gold,it would be a crane dual.Thanks, Terry

Who is PEP (I've never heard of them)?
Does anybody have a reported track record with these replacement springs from PEP?
I guess I'm just looking for a some reassurance that the new springs will be reliable and last for a while...
Thanks again for all your help -

[RELIEF] Many thanks for the reassurance! [/RELIEF]
BTW - I tried searching the web for PEP springs to read more about them... Does PEP stand for Precision Engine Parts?
