You callin me a liar??

I called that toll free # to order them. The part # is HPS5050. The lovely lady on the phone said this was the last set they had and the reason they where so cheap was because they where being discontinued. Hey, if she was wrong, that's a good thing for everyone right?

Might be a little stiff for the street,but some of the road racers are using 350 lbs fronts Eibach's are 171 front and 100 rear,R.B. are145 f. and 110 r. f.y.i. you may run into some understeer(push) with those on an autocross without any other changes.

I wonder why nobody goes with coilover kits... granted they're not exactly drop 'em on and go, but $30 for a pair of coilover adapters and $40 for a pair of springs, a little elbow grease adapting the coilover adapters, and the front is set. Screw the rear springs, stock is 100lb and if you need more roll stiffness than that, you have a choice of 15mm and 18mm rear stabilizer bars in the mechanic's shopping mall (aka junkyard).

Did you not read my post?
I called also and they said they just sold the last set. If I was not looking for my credit card I would have been the owner of them.
O'well that is my luck, Always a day late and a dollar short.

It's All Good! We are all Family. But you still owe me a set of springs!
Ha Ha. Well, if I put a new set of spring under my GSL-SE and remove the stock 176,000 mile springs she might not know what to think and want me to do more like a new engine or something.
Well, enjoy them while you have them.
