[s-cars] Seeking 92 S4 or S6 Plus Springs

[Matt Molyneux]

I'm so glad to hear that most people who have converted to 92 springs are
"in spec". I'm completely sold now. So where can I get a set? If no one has
an old set lying around, has anyone found a really well priced source? I
called Shokan and they said they never have any because as soon as a 92
comes in the springs are the first thing to go. I'd appreciate any ideas, as
even ebay hasn't had anything lately! Thanks.
