Anybody got stock height Weltmeister 200# springs
Hi,
Looking if anybody has a pair of the Weltmeister 200# front springs in stock ride height. I have the 1" lower variant and it's been great but with some of the parts on my car and roads around here it might be a little too low.
Looking to buy/trade springs with someone.

Spencer, take a look at these:

I've been running a set of Jason's 1" spacers on refreshed M474 dampers, with shorter springs [bad choice at the time], for a year and a half. Fourteen years ago, I ran my car with sport springs at a 23.5" fender height...cool look, but that got old for a street car. Ten years ago, I swapped in longer sport springs and ran at a 24.25" fender height. This was an improvement in street-ability, but, still too low for me, especially on worn dampers. Six years ago, I refreshed my M474 struts, hoping that new dampers would improve handling/performance. New dampers were a marked improvement, but, I still wasn't completely happy. At this point, I took a remote contract assignment and didn't drive the car but every 6-8 weeks. Fast forward to 2012...after installing a set of these, the car was transformed.
Best $60 I've spent...in a long time. At the current 25.25" front fender height [24.75" rear], the car is much happier [and so am I]...she feels more planted, steering is more direct/responsive, vehicle dynamics under braking/cornering/accelerating are in perfect harmony, and I don't have to wince while negotiating every speedbump, driveway, and poor road in town.
Let us know how things turn out.

i bought mine 6 or 7 years ago, wish they did then!
saw those, not 100% convinced on safety of spacers but i guess theyre common enough.
