| your best bet would be oem springs from a G-body. Get them at a junkyard. If you go for the seville springs, make sure it is an STS (RPO FE3 firm suspension). Since GM no longer publishes springs rates, and I can`t find any info as to whether they are linear or progressive, choosing an OEM spring would be an educated guess. Allternately, you could find the appropriate MOOG spring. They make good springs! That list is too long and I truly do not have time to go look for spring specs that I won't use. Note that on many springs (CC507 for example) the spring is progressive and the rate given is the INITIAL rate only. It'll get stiffer as it is goes through it's motion. Ideally, you should have the specs of the stock spring to find a replacement. |

| not yet. Since I'm in Canada I have to pay more for shipping. probably about $40 extra. Combine that with the fact that I'm modding my roadmaster AND turbo regal at the same time, and the springs are lower on my priority list. I will be getting some soon though. |

| I'm checking the price and availability on the intrax (1.8" drop) springs. I'll order as soon as I know more. Looking forward to that being the planned mod for April. |

| the GP on eibach 98-99 sts springs is currently ON regardless of the number of people who actually purchase them. Brad has offered the springs to us at $249 shipped in the US to make up for the delay on the swaybars. Just mention the riviera performance board. I have not seen it lower anywhere else. |

| Well it's June. Now they're back ordered until mid July. I hope this is a trust worthy parts store! It's getting a little frustrating. |
