With Koni inserts you better get a least Eibach or Intrax....

Otherwise, go to these guys and order whatever height and spring rate that
you want:

Folks:

Help!  Moog (Federal-Mogul) et al doesn't stock anything resembling 
stock lineal rate 200 lb/inch (fr) and 160 lb/in (rr) springs, only 
progressive rate cargo coils for SLOs. My Gen 1 is sagging badly. I 
don't want progressive springs and I don't want Eibachs or Intrax's. I 
want to return to the original sweet blend of handling, cornering and 
ride comfort that Ford engineered into the car in the late 1980s.

Where do I buy stock form/fit/function replacement springs? Any help 
from Al Fitz or other recylcers?

Special thanks to Al Fanning for driving out to San Jose-Reid Hillview 
Airport to deliver stock strut cores that I'm fitting with Koni inserts.

Best to all,

Fred
