A long time ago, way back when I upgraded the springs on me car, I called Hotchkis and Global West for my springs. The first thing I asked was the rate of the spring. This will effect your ride quality more than anything else. The second question I asked them was if they made their own springs or if someone wound their springs for them.

Both companies told me they didn't know. I suspect (my opinon only) that there are just a couple of companies out there winding springs. Soooo, what does all that mean? I would check with Moog, which you can get at any autoparts house, call Hotchkis and Global West and then compare all those prices and make a decision from there. The ride quality wioll be about the same from any of those off the shelf springs for what you are looking for.

Hope that helps
