Default suggestion on suspension

i found some hypercoil springs for sale in the classifieds and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with these and if $100 for a pair is a good deal. I don't need anything that great since i don't track the car but i don't want to put crap on the car either. So any idea on which one to choose. Thanks

250 lb 10" 2.50 dia.

Unless you already have the proper adjustable perches (like those found on the Paragon ARHK), those springs will not work properly with your stock spring perches on your MY86 struts. The diameter is different.

Disregard the above response if you have the ARHK or some other after-market adjustable coil-over set-up and it is not in your sig above.

In that case I'd suggest to hold off. Paying retail for new springs will be a small bump to the overall cost of going to an adjustable suspension. Also will let you pick the rates.
