New Hyperco Coil Springs (Rear and Front) For Sale Category: Accessories
Price: $165
Part Fits: 93-02 Chevrolet Camaro, 93-02 Pontiac Firebird
Location (State): VA
Item Condition: Brand New
Shipping Information: Item Can be Shipped
Engine: LS1/LS6, LT1/LT4
LS Engine?: Fits LS Engine
I originally bought these from another trans am owner on this site, but living in West Virginia most of the year I decided to not lower the car. At this point I have no need for them and hoping that another vehicle could use them.
These are excellent springs to lower the car 1.2'' all around. They are high quality and will not have any sagging issues! They will do well with any upgraded shocks such as kgb, strano, bilstein, etc. I have done the research on hyperco springs and they are great! I believe that I am practically giving them away at $45 a spring + ship.
There are 2 rear springs and 2 front springs. Hoping to sell them all together, since it is best to keep a car sitting on all the same type of spring.
Private message me with offers/questions/etc. I will be using paypal for payment and will ship via ups and they should arrive in 5 business days. Hope some of you are interested

Suggested Retail Price: $299.99
Product Characteristics: The spring kit is intended as a general-purpose performance and appearance product. When a vehicle is equipped with Hypercoils there are several elements that improve the overall handling. Hypercoil lowering is designed to take advantage of the existing suspension geometry and to optimize the relationship of the roll center axis relative to the center of gravity of the vehicle. The lowering improves the appearance of the vehicle and provides the best compromise between the ride and handling characteristics.
The progressive spring characteristics permit the ride frequencies to stay within acceptable limits, but provide the added spring rate to achieve bump load capacities equivalent to the original equipment (O.E.) springs. The softer initial rate is designed to provide the O.E. pre-load when the suspension is at full rebound. When the suspension is functioning in its normal range the spring rate provides a controlled performance ride but offers enough compliance to maintain occupancy comfort. The selection of rates provides the best compromise between performance and comfort.
The optimized spring calibration reduces the pitch of the vehicle under heavy acceleration or braking. The reduced longitudinal pitch of the vehicle during heavy braking improves the overall braking efficiency because the higher rate of the front springs reduce the amount of load transfer to the front tires. This causes the load on all four tires to be more evenly distributed providing additional traction to the rear tires. The additional gain in rear traction usually results in reduced braking distances.
The proportionate increase in spring rate also reduces body roll, which limits adverse suspension movement. This confines the suspension geometry to stay within parameters that enhance the tires contact patch relative to the road. The result is improved vehicle cornering and handling, because front and rear tire loading is more evenly distributed. Therefore, higher cornering limits can be achieved because the built-in understeer characteristics are reduced and provide for a more neutral yet safe handling vehicle.

Shipping looks to be approx $35 (give or take accordingly to distance) for 2nd day air. UPS ground is approx $15-$20. They are still wrapped up and in perfect condition. I've taken a good look around and many competitors springs are approx. $250. These are high quality and going for a good price! Having trouble posting pics, but I can email pics, these are the blue hyperco springs.
Keep in mind that these springs will lower your center of gravity to help you through the turns while maintaining ride quality.

bump. Would like to sell all 4 together
I finally have a camera so I can post pics if needed.
BY THE WAY. PRICE IS FIRM
I can't believe people expect such low prices for $300 springs. I may as well drop them off at good will haha

I swear everybody is broke. Springs are still here and will be up for sale till December. If none want them by then, well I guess I know what I'll be doing next spring (install them to my whip)
