    ^^ Did you look at the summit link? the springs are $20 less each.

      Has anyone checked to see if the 626/MX6/Probe struts work? those are big heavy cars that should have a nice dampening rate on them.

        Man, after reading this I'm not sure what to get. I have the kyb gr2's and I was planning on ordering the FMS springs but now I don't know!!

            I just ordered the QA1 7" 250# springs for the Front of the race car. I was given a pair of 9" 150# springs for the rear and I had to have the adjusters all the way down to get even close to the ride hight I need. I might go back and remove the adjusters all together. I decided to get the 7" springs in the front so That I can have a little more adjustment. I wanted it a little stiffer in front thats why the 250#s. I think the 150# will be fine in back with the VW Jetta ebach struts I picked up because my car is so light. Anyway we will see how she rides later this month.

                Does anyone know the answer to this question - I'm interested since I just purchased a set

                            the picture doesn't match the description. Desc says bolts. Pic says may not be accurate. They're bolts.

                              I went to the parts store and asked about replacing my aspire front springs (snapped front left spring). They told me there isn't anything available. I'm building a sno rally festiva so I'm looking for a suggestion on maybe a longer spring for a stock aspire strut for more travel.

                              Thanks for the suggestions! Great thread! :help:

                              My apologies, I just realized I resurrected this thread. PM me if you want to answer my question.
