Re: Cheapest Place to buy Drop Coils

You can live with out the c-notch. If you looking for new springs I would say CPP would be the cheapest from what I can tell, otherwise place a WTB ad in the parts board and see what you can come up with.

Here's a 1" ECE front drop spring for sale currently in the parts board for $100.... LINK.

Hope this helps.

Re: Cheapest Place to buy Drop Coils

I got 4" drop springs for the rear from GMCPauls for $95 and I would never buy springs for the front when it takes 5 minutes to cut them. If you want a 1" drop I would start with 25% of one coil and see how it looks, if that's not enough cut a tad more.
