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's the spring rate? Open load? Closed load? Bind height? I could care less what they're FROM. It's a spring.

1. What's 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.

I am a fan of a lower setting car, I am doing for two reasons,
1) I need new shocks/struts 171000 on orginals pretty sure :shock:
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..

What is the individual coil diameter, 'free' length, and compressed length of the springs? What is their load rating and overall diameter?

Just incase you didn't know Coil Spring Specialties can make custom springs for you.
It's 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.
