I just get the feeling that nobody really knows for sure what
springs were used on what or when during the 84-86 cars. I feel
like every time it comes up it gets a bit weirder. Or everyone is
assuming obvious things that I don't see.
So right now I still have 3 questions for the 84-86 cars regarding
springs:
1. What cars (coupes? verts? years?) got the Peter Muscat Springs?
2. What cars got the MotorSport "SUPER-SPORTS" Springs?
3. Are the Peter Muscat Springs the same as the MotorSport "SUPER-
SPORTS" Springs?
This has slightly bugged me since I started reading this group.
Sorry, but I do get hung up on the details.
Now I'm unsettled by the whole bushing thing too.......
