Spring pairs should be equal height, but you won't really now until they're on the car.

try compressing it by pushing the spring down.. if it's easy to compress it, u have bad springs

Re: Buying springs today...

ok cool.. is that all? un equal heights and easy to compress = bad

Doesn't affect how the spring performs... my Pro-Kit springs were on my car for like 8 months and were chipped and rusty.

Re: Buying springs today...

actually, rust does affect the performance of the spring... rust will weaken the integrity of the spring as a whole and it will eventually cause the spring to sag (i speak from experience and a lil common sense )

Well yeah, but surface rust will not.
