WTB: 90-92 NA6 or 94-97R Stock Springs

[carguychris]

Howdy all,

I'm preparing to do a stock-ish low-buck suspension redo on my 96M. I'd like to mitigate my SUV-like 1996 ride height with a set of the shorter red dot / blue dot stock springs as used on the 1990-1992 NA6 and the 94-97 R Package.

Let me know if you have some that you'll sell reasonably cheap.

Thanks in advance!

I've got the stock springs from my 92. They have been sitting in a box for nearly 13 years!

I have a set with new sensen oem style shocks, fat cat bump stops, and oem top hats already installed. I would take $100 for them.

I just noticed you said R package...these are not, just stock springs from my 91

Awesome! PM sent.

I believe I have several sets of Rpack springs

Yowza, didn't realize what a healthy response this thread was going to create.

riverman1: Tempting offer, but I already ordered bumpstops and told Titus I would buy his springs, I intend to use KYB Excel-G's because I've had great luck with them in the past, and Edgewood is a bit far... but I do need new strut mounts. Ugh. Are those parts "new new" or just kinda new?

According to what I've read, 94-97R front springs are identical to 90-92 manual transmission blue-dot front springs, while the R Package rears are about the same length and just marginally stiffer—there seems to be some dispute as to the exact specs, but I think I'll be happy with either. This much I know for certain... I once measured a 96M next to my prior 94R, and the 96M ride height was 1-1/4"(!) higher in the back and 1/2" higher in the front. This is the main thing I'd like to address.

I put the shocks and bump stops on my car, and with less than 1000 miles took it for an alignment and discovered a bent rear sub frame. When I pulled everything off, to change the sub frame, I went ahead and changed the coilovers and all the bushings. So I guess practically new would apply here.

I work in Terrell, so we could work something out if you are interested. Also, I will be at the next few autox events if you are going.

No worries though, if you go with one of the other offers.

Are the mounts new?

The top hats are 1991 OEM
