will these springs work? rear / rant
the whole point of this thread is the springs im looknig at TAG SAYS NNL 10018091 these work on my v6? and how hard to replace them?
**because**
after replacing front springs the rear looks squatting now. was hoping the front would settle but i dont think its going to.
well my car is pissing me off. theres nothing really wrong with it. its just i been looking at some really nice ones on here, and then i see pics of my car when i first got it. so i go look at it in the drive and its ghetto now.
ive been through a love hate replacing hell with this car. i hate seeing it die so i try to keep it up by replacing everything. a photo history can be seen here

Myself, I would run a good set of coil over shock and just leave to stock spring in place.
They just work better for osme reason. I think it due to the wider spacing. The spring and the shock work together better near the ends.

Old pic but you can see I have an even ride hight F/R

And things look rust but are still good.
I should have but didn't preload the right side spring a tad more.
But I don't race on purpose most times.

Ride and look is nice. I like the even sized tires and spacing look.
stock coil don't work cept maybe on super hard bumps.

Front springs were fine. Springs usually don't wear out if your shock or struts are good. Why my backs were saggy. To many miles with blown shocks, making the springs do all the work.
If your springs were bad in the front, id suspect somone drove on bad struts for a while. Springs can't go bad of the struts or shock are good.
