    Has anyone used A premium coil springs to lower an old Ford front? There's a big price difference now.

    Have you priced the springs at Napa? I paid about $60 Canadian for my Aerostar springs at the local Napa but that was about 10 years ago.

    I did buy an A-premium driveshaft on Amazon and it seemed good quality, but no idea about the springs.

    I paid $110 5 years ago for Moog. Now they are $150-200. Saw the Apremiums on Amazon. Thanks for the info.

    Anyone want to place a bet on "Country of Origin"?

    Wow, I’d didn’t know they had gone up that much,
    I’d probably go with these

    There’s a guy I autocross with that is an engineer for Mevotech. From talking with him I would have no problem putting mevotech parts on my car.

    Thanks for the info. I see they are made in Canada. Summit is out of stock, but Amazon has them for $60 and some change.

    For everyone’s info Moog parts are made “Worldwide”, including China,Mexico & Canada. You’ll know where they’re made by it being on the box.

    Remember to cut the rubber stops in half or you will crush and break the originals.

    Not sure what you mean by cut the rubber stops in half. I’m putting them in a 56 TBird. I didn’t do anything special putting them in a 49 sedan.

    The A arm bump stops is what I think @jimmy six is referring to.
