These are a brand called Spring Tec. 1.5in Drop springs. They ride nice, firmer then the stock onesbut not bone jarring. I am very pleased with the ride compared to other lowered cars ive rode in. And this is also with a MonroeMatic Gas shocks.

chevy...can you give me a link to Spring Tec. I tried looking for them but can't seem to find those springs any place. Thanks

I looked on Ebay but no luck....was there a company name and maybe an address on the box that you received the springs in?

thanks

thanks chevy....the price is right that's for sure. I emailed them asking about the spring rate. I know you posted that the ride is nice and did it drop the vehicle 1.5" all the way around?.

I noticed about 1inch drop all the way around. So from stock ride height im sure it was right at 1.5in.

I ended up installing Eibach Pro Kits. The front is nice but the back end lowered too much. The back was distinctively lower than the front so I put a rubber 1" spacer in the springs as a temp fix. Eibach does not list springs for a GP but they do for other G Bodies like a Monte Carlo and the rear is suppose to drop 0.8". I don't think there is any difference with the rear end set up between a GP or an MC so I plan to give Eibach a call today..

want to raise the reasrend?

I used to work at and autoparts supply store how I chose the springs for my regal was at the back of the moog spring book is a chart. Find the replacment part # the write down all the info: spring ends, spring weight, unsprung height. Then go through the chart starting at spring ends and find a set that is taller unsprung/same springweight, or close to the same height/higher spring weight. I did this and raised the ride height of my car even 2". I can't remember the part #'s though.
