Where can I get a set from Z. These sprints are going out the effin window. The vibration is driving me bonkers and I have not been able to come up with a cure...The last thing I want to do is excessively wear the half shafts and have one break.

Let me know......

Mine are supposed to be delivered friday. I need to find a shop to install them. I just don't feel like dealing with it.

not a problem at all. well the place i know is a great company is cox import but they do charge around 212 for them. they are awsome to deal with though and are on time with everything.
drivewire.com sells them and i believe saturn motorsports sells them and so does sps. im trying to set up an account with b+g but they are not very cooperative about it as i need to do a large buy in and it cant be only 1 spring otherwise i would order the quantity og ion springs to sell to you guys here. that whats holding me back. i have to carry a certain amount of sku's in the line. with all the other stuff im working on getting right now that would be hard to do, but.... i may have a ditributor willing to work a bit but b+g's still cost a dealer a whole lot more than sprint does.

i will tell you the vibration was insatntly 100% gone as soon as i dropped the car got in and tested it. and let me say what an absolute pleasure the car is now to drive. some may not believe it but the car actaullay rides better then stock did as far as ride quality. you will notice an instant drastic difference as soon as you go for the first ride.

speeding they are so easy to do though.... if you have any experience at all working on cars these are by far one of the easiest sets of springs to change out. the only thing you will need is a e-8 socket (napa or autozone or sears about 5$) and a impact wrench to get the top nut loose other than that its cake. i do them now in about 45 min all the way around since i have done like 40 sets now.

I haven't been following the B&G threads, where do they put the ride height compared to stock? I'd like the tire to be just at the top of the body arch of the fender well. Sort of how the new GTO is.

Yeah, I know its easy, I did the springs on my cavalier. But I don't have a spring compressor, and its a time thing. It's just easier to let some else do it, plus I can get it alinged right away.
