Default Ughh. I have 8" - 600 and 800.

I would be happy to order you some Eibachs. $75 each. (And on Trackports you should really run helper springs in the rear. These would also be $75 each including the spacer.)

If you decide for 500/600, the 600 springs are on e-bay.

Default i have a set of used ones in my living room, supposedly with 5K miles on them...

i've never used them, anyway to tell what the rate is on them? they are just painted dark blue, that's all.

Default I live in LA and the road here is terrible especially driving down sunset

I took this chick out last night and my cpp's were squeeking at me and the suspension was way too tight to just cruise...

Default What exactly do the helper springs help?

I'm assuming I would need a 6'' rear spring and a 8'' front spring?

Default Look on the bottom/top. That is where they are marked, though thay may have rusted over.

Default They keep your rear 8" spring from being loose when you raise your car.

Spring lengths would be the same. Though you could - if you wanted to go little shorter. 9 and 7 for example.

Also, take a look here.

Default I remember I had a tall 800 spring and I couldn't lower the car to 25''

I had to trade it in for a shorter one is all.. i'm at 26 and 3/8's right now but would want to be able to go to 25 if i wanted to.. Ideally a 550 9'' spring in the front and a 650 7'' spring in the rear would fit my needs I think..
