I appreciate your input either way. These springs do look somewhat bulky. I think they are 350 and in the rear 250 so this means I should keep torsion bar as was stock on turbo S or do I need to reindex?

Strangest thing, black steel top hats and perches are actually 60mm/2.36" while spring is 2.5" and red racers edge hat is also 2.5". Good news is that with black hats center nut now is flush with shock thread.

I'll have to replace front springs to #650 2.36".

So what length and rest of specifics are you looking for...?
Just had a buddy give me a bunch of brand NIB springs.
I can look through them and see if I have a pair to help you out.

Shipping $$ might be non-starter though...?

How you been btw...?

Not completely sure about that myself.. I want the stiffest teeth rattling car possible that will still be drivable on the street. Rear coilovers are #350 so these are as far as I understand meant to work with torsion bar in place.
So for the fronts I would need ID 60mm (2.36'') #650 (based on what I read on paragon, here and on pelican). Length is another open question, probably 9'' and added helpers...

I am doing good, business as usual. With two boys, 2.5y and 5.5y time seems to fly faster than ever.

Need to get this space waster to move on it's own power asap. Need to completely rebuild interior of garage/workshop and it is getting frustrating having my own car lift and asking my neighbour to use his each time I change oil.

I have CA address btw.

Do you have any 60mm ID springs?
