PAC does make a quality product.

In the end getting the pressure tested is the real way of knowing the health of the spring. Also most times a chassis or engine dyno will show possible float while there is a load on it.

The wear makrs looks normal to me, nothing overt.

True ... I was making the coil bind statement not knowing if this guy had an actual spring failure or what ... he's kind of sketchy on exactly what his issue was. If it was just "valve float", then what evidence did he have that it was really valve float due to too weak of springs for his application.
