Stock suspension differences?
I have an 82 base model, gs I am guessing that is, and an 82 parts car, which had an lsd and leather seats, plus power everything, which I am guessing is a gsl.
My question is: Is there a difference between in spring rates and stiffness of the springs in these two cars?
I had a bent spindle on my 82 base model, and swapped the whole strut assembily on the drivers side, but haven't done the passenger side yet, and I am wondering if I have to... I imagine I should.... but wanted some input before I got at it. Thnx.
Cheers

The S, GS and GSL in '82 had the same spindles, springs, shocks, everything is the same. Well when they were build, no telling what a previous owner might put on the car.
But I would do the swap as a set, that way if the donor parts will sag at the same rate.
