Re: Was: Ramblings Now: Coil Springs

["Jim Blair" <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's been a long time, but I recall putting some Ford 3/4 ton front coils in 
the back of an AMC (and a Buick) to get them back to normal ride height plus 
a little (because I ALWAYS had my toolbox back there)

Good grief...all of this list-nonesense has got Bart speaking in foreign
tongues.  Speak English man.

Boy this is starting to feel like the old (and I do mean OLD) list again.
Hey Ritzinger, you lurking?

Oh yeah...After getting (not one, but) *2* new sets of coil springs from
Coil Spring Specialtiees for the rear of my 73 Ambassador Wagon, it still
sits at the same height as the stock 30+ year old springs and feels as soft.
I ordered 2" of lift and 20% stiffer than stock.  Sent them a stock spring
after the first bad set, they sent it back to me with a new set.  Same exact
diameter coil and same height (installed) as the first set...*%#&^)#!@!
Now, they are *trying* to "make it right" for me by making me a 3rd set, and
have already sent me a call-tag to return the first set, so I will keep the
list posted as to how that goes.  As for right now, 6-months of back and
forth BS with them, very poor communication, and poor quality product would
lead me to advise against using them in the future.

As always,
