[V8] Broken H&R Spring!!!

[Coleman, David]

Oh swell.  Now I have to go check mine.

Carter posted recently about his OE spring breaking, so it may be
inherent in the car rather than the spring.  I wonder if these are all
UFO cars or are they converted?   My '91 was converted at new to G60
setup, and I replaced the original OE springs several months ago -- at
217k miles.
