T_MaX,

I have a pair that I removed from my '94 about 6 years ago. They are still mounted on the OE boge shocks. Had 60K miles on the car when removed. The car had spent it's entire time in Houston until I bought it.

T-Max? Been a long time my friend!

Have you heard we have a growing Houston 928 group? Let me know if you want to be added to the Google Group.

At some point I was told that there's no difference between the stock springs that came on a GT & those that were on an S4. Is that not the case?

@ Don, yes it has! Funny I have a feeling we are not living too far from each other but have not gotten together. FWIW, we're ~ 249 and Harden Store Rd.

@ JPTL, I don't know but I would rather get a verifiable set off later model than my 1989.

@ Gary, Email sent thank you for your reply!

When I put Eibach/Bilsteins on my GT in '01, I threw out the stock springs & Boges that only had 34k on them .

JP-

Sorta- here's a good discussion on spring usage, part #'s and paint daub designations on S4 vs. GT springs.

Harden Store Rd is my favorite route to the northside. Jim D. lives up further toward 1488, and I just met a guy named Larry that has an 89 off Decker Prarie road. Quite a few more in the Woodlands.

If you follow Harden Store Rd, south it becomes Decker Prarie, then Cypress Rosehill. I'm not too far from Cypress Rosehill and Huffmeister.

We have been getting together in the Woodlands around new years for the last two years, so that will probably be our next gathering. If you can make it, I'll swing by on the way.

@ Chuck, I would love to but my dance card is looking full. My kids have been begging me to get "their" fast car back on the road, so I hope I will be able to participate in some future gatherings.

@ Don, if you like Decker Prairie Rd, try Decker Prairie Rosehill. In fact, try starting at 2920 at Decker Prairie Rosehill follow that to Decker Prairie Rd. take a left on Decker Prairie Rd to Stagecoach than to Cole Loop back to Decker Prairie Rosehill. Smile per mile is high with this route

I'm sure they are very happy to be back in TX, as they will now stay "warm"!!
