Free, springs from NB

[nealb]

bought some OEM struts off a 1999 (what I was told, don't know if true) to get the upper mounts for my NA

have the springs if anyone wants them, otherwise they go into recycle

two paint dots on them, light green on two and purple on two

don't have a clue what that means

first to come get them gets them, no dibs or first-in-line stuff

PM if you are interested and I'll give contact info

located in Grapevine


I edited the title to NB since they are off of a 99. -Majik

Can anybody tell if they are Hard-s Springs? Like from the dots?

Not sure it makes much difference:
NB Standard 162 F 118 R
NB "Hard S." 168 R 124 R

Like the NA "R", I think the biggest part of the susp. package was the Bilsteins...


MSM's on the other hand might be a nice improvement:
NB MSM 215 F 158 R

The hard s would keep me in stock class, provided I did the full package swap. The MSM springs, although they would be fun, would knock me out of stock class, because the MSM was not available in 2000. And if I can score a set of hard-s springs, they will be paired with adjustible shocks.

I suppose the hard springs would also let you add the 1 mm thicker rear sway and the front shock mount brace - but will those items and the 6 lbs/inch (3-5%) stiffer springs really make any difference in your times? I'd imagine you'd be just as fast with the adjustable shocks in the stock springs - plus you won't have to track down the larger rear sway and the brace - which on the few occasions I've seen one, tends to be relatively expensive.

Not arguing, just curious...

Craig makes some very good points.

springs go into recycle bin next Tuesday unless someone wants them
