What are springs going to do for you on an L27?
You have a cam? Higher ratio rockers? If not, don't waste your breath.
What'* the spring rate? Open load? Closed load? Bind height? I could care less what they're FROM. It'* a spring.
1. What'* it going to do for you?
2. What are the SPRING specs?
I've been through this. I don't have stock springs. But it took me a long time to get to that point.

1) I need new shocks/struts 171000 on orginals pretty sure
2) I am a fan of lowering cars a bit, and my wheels fit very nice, but need a 1 in gap to be closed more.. No gains to me other then better ride for the new shocks/struts..

Just incase you didn't know Coil Spring Specialties can make custom springs for you.
It'* about $150/pair for a 2" drop uncoated but I would definitely suggest getting them coated.
Paulnold and I went through them.
If the CTS route dosen't work out you can always go that route.
