Michael,

My somewhat tongue-in-cheek comment applies to the original as well as the 
replacements.

Seriously, my new spring has been on the car for three years (5K miles).  I 
had the car aligned again this winter because I installed front spring 
spacers, and the rear is still in spec unloaded and loaded. But it _is_ a 
quarter-inch lower on the drivers side already.
