Are these the right springs?

Are these the Eibachs Pro-kits Howard Coleman loves so much?

http://optionimports.com/5525-14.html

Only reason I wonder is b/c he gave a part number of 5525.001, these are 5525.14 but they appear the same.

If yes, I will order them today.

Already posted in suspension also. Thanks!

Tyson said that all Eibach fd springs are linear. the part number is 5525.140 for the four springs. 5525.001 is for the front spring (Eibach lists them at 365 lbs/inch) and 5525.002 is the rear listed at 275 pounds per inch. ( I had them at 350 and and 255). Eibach does not offer progressive rated springs for the fd.

I think these are the springs I have on my car, and I do love them too. The ride is harsh, but you get used to it and it handles like a go kart.

Maybe a little over an inch. They don't lower them as much as some of the others.

Here ya go:

I really appreciate it. I bought some gt7s and the fronts are 18x9 with 245/40/18s (not sure of offset). I am wanting to lower the car a little but dont want them to rub.
