the weltmeister springs i bought seem too firm and shorter than the 100# stock springs.
I'd like to try those if anyone has some they could part with.

I have some stock take offs that we can look up the color stripes, but i think they were 90lbs. I got pics of the ride hight prior to taking them off. Too nice to throw out when I redid mine. Looks great too ... Cover the shipping and I can get them to you ASAP. Try them and if you want/like and keep them pay me what ever later

Come up to my warehouse and you can pull a pair off one of the parts cars for free. (I know that's your favorite price)

Thanks for the offer, even to compare to my welt meister or to a set of originals withe genuine rust stains from bill i would be curious to see the difference. 90# would be good.


I appreciate the offer I do like cheap and easy, not sure pulling them off will be easy but I'll think about it.
AA has the supposedly original replacement for ×120$ I'll try something else first .
