I used them a long time ago on my '85 Firebird SE. No problems at all.

There are more than version of "ST lowering springs". One we know the rates one, and they aren't good, the others we don't and ST won't tell me (because they didn't know). Not exactly what I'd like on my car, and with other cars we've had a lot of issues with the drop being much more than claimed.

I sell ST, one of the many lines we carry. Just sold a rear bar for a Honda this week. I won't use those springs. Cheaper, sure. But at what price?

How much they gettin' for them? When I bought mine, back around 1990, I got them from JC Whitney, of all places. Their prices are low, but you have to watch their freight charges. Sometimes you get a deal, sometimes they hammer you....
