Selling the leftover parts from when I built coilovers.

Two QA1 10" 300lb springs, 10-300 - these were WAY too stiff on my car, with the crappy roads around here, but the car handled great with them installed. I know some people are running 400+ lb springs, though. They have about 10 minutes or 4 miles driven on them, $55 shipped

Four A-1 Racing coilover nuts, A1-12460-B8 - these DO NOT have the set screws, but you could drill and tap one of the dimples and add one. $25 shipped

Here's what the springs look like installed with a 7" sleeve:



And on the car, as low as I could get the car to sit (the car would go lower, but my jack wouldn't)



Or $75 shipped for the springs and nuts.

Slightly modified suspension with the iron duke. I completely rebuilt the rear suspension when I put these on: polyurethane control arm bushings, Rodney's ball joints and inner tie rods, Moog outer tie rods, struts used were Sachs (DO NOT reccommend, BTW).

300 should be a great match for a 3800 from what I've read- on the softer end of the spectrum.

And out of curiosity, why don't you recommend that brand?

WAY too harsh, I even tried a second set with the stock springs. THAT might have been the problem, but I didn't have another $200 to buy a third set of KYB's.
