	Before this thread dies a slow death, I want to take advantage of the
free publicity an ongoing thread offers and let everyone interested in
the subject know I have a set of STOCK springs that came out of an '86
COUPE GT. I upgraded to H&R sport springs at mile 126K not because of
poor performance and not because they were sagging(they were not!). I
simply wanted stiffer, more advanced progressive springs and a lower
ride height. It was an upgrade not a repair or replace! If any C-GT
owner, or any lister with an applicable car, wants them for cheap, cheap
$, let me know. They are fine, just wanted more than stock.
