coupe GT springs



    Does anyone have any front lowering springs for the coupe GT ('85)?
If you have four and want to sell them all together, I'll consider that
too.
    For the rear, I just installed new Boge Turbo Gas shocks, and some
H&R springs found in a coupe at the junk yard. Someone had taken just
one of the fronts; are they stupid or just trying to "claim" all four??
At $10 each, and having to do the rear suspension, I took the rear two.
Initially, the car was sitting level, but now, a fortnight later, it's
sagging in the rear the way it did before with blown shocks/ stock
springs. I didn't really want to lower the car, just stiffen it up a
bit: the H&R's were actually taller than the worn stock springs they
replaced. Do springs wear out? The front currently has good Boge Turbos,
and stock springs, which isn't very inspiring anyway. I should have
bought Bilsteins and been done with it, but at twice the price of Boges,
it was hard to rationalize.
    Please respond in private, I'm unsubscribed, just reading an
occasional archive. Overall, my coupe is still going strong and looking
good with over 175K miles! It just got a cooling system overhaul and a
motor mount. I'd refresh more of the worn rubber stuff, if it were
cheaper. ($113 door seal, $60 sunroof seal)
