Got mine today!!!! I will get them on, hopefully this weekend (playing in a tennis tournament, so it can be all weekend or just one match, who knows, plus starter went bad on Fiero, so I have to fix that). Will definitely get them on by next weekend for track day. I have never done this so hopefully it won't be too hard. There are good instructions on LS1install.

If you put your shocks on, the springs are exactly the same in the front...... Less work in the rear.
Remember you'll need to align your cars!!!!!

The springs should settle little, if any. And for those of you on stock springs, the alignment will be way, WAY off. So get it done ASAP.

I got my set today, and hopefully i'll get them on this weekend. I need to make sure that my "hired" friend help is still wanting to lend a hand. Springs look good Sam!

The rears are actually softer than a number of springs, but 25% stiffer than stock rears. Up to you for a convertible. We've done springs on them without issue before, but we don't use ballistically stiff spring anyway, and always use good dampers, which is a huge key.

They are white. I wanted a color that not eveyone else uses to the springs are easily recognized if the writing comes off.
