I have a whole shelf of springs and will look when I get home tonight. That said....I've never seen ARB springs, just ARD. Most '88 Fieros I see have ARD fronts and PUC rears.
My Formula has ARDs. I figured that the ARBs would be from a 4 cylinder 5 speed non-A/C car or similarly unpopular combination.
Makes sense....most of my Fieros have been Formulas and '88 GT's, so all I've ever seen are ARD/PUC springs. Anyway.....I just checked my stash (about a dozen springs) and all are ARD or have no tag left at all. Sorry.

Thanks for checking! The car configurations that likely got the ARB springs would be pretty much sales proof, so I don't think they'll be very common.
I have an '88 4 cly, 5spd car that we are going to part (eventually). Not sure if the tags still exist on the springs, but will look next time I am over where it's stored.
Good luck. I just checked the codes on my "bare as I've ever owned" 88 coupe. A/C, 5 speed, cassette, and tilt wheel. It's got (well... had) ARC springs. You might be right about the "non A/C" thing.
I don't need them. This car is heading for the junkyard soon. Hate to see it go, but this car is a turd in so many ways. I guess even some '88 are undesirable.
Make me an offer in PM. I hope they're easy to get at.
Neither... all the springs are designed to the same rate. The ARBs were designed for the lightest configuration of Fiero to have the same ride height as the heaviest configuration would with the ARE's or whatever the other end of the spectrum is.
IOW, in a car of a given weight, the ARBs *should* result in the lowest ride height.

Finally got over to the lot where the cars are stored - sorry, RPO codes are 6RD & 7RD (couldn't get under the car to see the tags), '88 4cl / 5 spd w/AC.
