I can't say for sure.  I've tried rear springs from both Moss and Vicky B,
and the symptoms (weird ride heights) are the same.

I have not heard of springs wearing out like you refer to.  All I can say is
mine have been on for a year, and they're just peachy.

About ride heights:  Something else I've noticed is it seems as the rear
springs tend leave the car too high for their rating, the front springs seem
to tend to run low.  I can't say this for sure, because the rear end is
still a bit too high, putting extra weight on the front.  However, unless
the "stock" front springs come up about 3/4" after I get the rear down, I'd
say they're a bit too low.

To a point, all of this is somewhat nit-picky, but one of the things I
always liked about the chrome bumper B's was the sleek, refined look they
have when they're level, and the rear tires are subtly hiding under the
fenders.  Right now, my car looks more like a muscle car.  Call it a fetish
<g>.
