if you got hypercoil springs then they'd have that much precision and they will maintain their height. Most commercial product springs won't but after the initial seatin they'll be consistant and reliable.
I had bad experience with QA1 when they were HAL, but since then they have gotten thier act together although i still won't buy a set.
Take doc up on his offer and on your way back swing by here and we'll check for the amount of change.

I've been working part time to get them in and adjusted. Definitely not a bolt in swap! Just enough differences between the old & new to confound my simple brain..
I got it back on the floor tonite and the rear is to low yet the shock length is a bit long so I'll need to reset the adjustments to raise the car yet shorten the shock. The fronts have been a piece of cake.
I'd love to swing over to see Dave S. and yourself! Won't be this year tho'!Thanks for the offer!
Oh, Randy.. The pics are coming.. relax I didn't forget ya!

Tru Coil is another good brand. We used to run them on our late model, wasn't unusual to use them an entire season and still be + or - 5%. QA-1's test all over the place right out of the box, then get worse after they've been used awhile. AFCO is getting their consistency dialed in a bit better, too. You pay a bit more, but when the spring sez 150 lbs, that's what you get and it will stay there!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
