Thanks for the tip on buying parts, I'll have to go with new springs. The car goes into the shop Monday for an inspection, but I'm sure the result will be replace everything that isn't already new. Yeah, when it comes to struts and springs you've got to be reeeeeaaaallll careful. Plenty of jokers out there will sell you one-size-fits-all, random spring rates and shock valving. It fits, doesn't it?
