Do you not have your stock springs?

Yeah, but it was a local buyer and I have a friend with a lift, so we were going to pull my car in, install the Strano/Koni set-up on mine and then pull his in and put the Eibach/Gabrielle set-up we just took off of mine on his. I've got my stock shocks and springs, but I don't really want to do this again...

Springs landed @ JFK in New York on Sunday. Clearing customs, hoping to see them early next week (fingers crossed--hard).

Just so you know, they arrived at my shop today. I will be packing and shipping all day today, and likely most of tomorrow.

Thank you for your patience.

He's shipping springs. As always, the fastest way is to call him and if he doesn't answer leave a message. He will get back to you.
