I am planning for some major suspension renewal on my 4kq and would like
to start amassing the necessary parts. I will be replacing the springs,
wheel bearings, struts, strut bearings and probably a few tie rods, the
rear ball joints and other assorted parts.  

As a result of earlier discussion of springs I have decided to go with a
set of stock 90q springs. They are stiffer than the 4kq variety which
should help to get rid of the rear sag, reduce understeer and gain a
little ground clearance. Does anyone have a set of stock 90q springs
sitting around they would like to get rid of for a reasonable price?

I would also appreciate any recommendations for parts sources. I have
used Blau in the past, but would like to look around a little more this
time.  The Parts Connection seems to be popular from what I have seen on
this list. 

I have a set of 5 spoke "Superior" 15 inch wheels (with concentric
spacers) off my 4kq that I do not want anymore. They are in good shape
although a bit dirty looking. I can post some photos if anyone is
interested.  I would be willing trade them for set of stock 14's, a
reasonable offer, springs, or something else I need.

I live in Corvallis OR, and occasionally head up to the Seattle area
where my parents live, so anyone living along the NW, I-5 corridor
should be able to avoid messing around with shipping.

thanks

Luke
