Springs that act the same and support the same (or more) as stock springs, but will
last longer, are Moog Cargo Coils, or NAPA replacement springs.  These are more or
less the same, cost about 80 bucks a pair, and are available for the front and rear
of our SHOs.  They carry more weight than a stock spring, and should last
longer....they're thicker in diameter.  They'll give more or less the same ride as a
stock spring, depending on the strut you have installed.

"New" stock springs may or may not have the proper loading that SHOs require...we
have checked, and there are many differently rated springs installed as new on our
cars.
