Question Huh???

Measure your curb height.
We need exact dimensions.

Unless you plan to make a Low Rider.

and while we're at it, anybody know exactly where the part number is stamped on the springs? the fsm says on the bottom of the spring. is it legible with the spring in the car or does it have to be off?

No stamps or numbers.
They where marked with a single color stripe of paint.
