I have new upper and lower A-Arms(is that what they are called)? and also new shocks. I was planning on using my old springs as although they have a little rust they would clean up and take paint okay.

However my old spring is unusable.

So needing to buy new springs too. May as well get a whole set, they are around $250 for a set.

My current ones are Eibach I don't have to stick to the same make. Its lowered around 1.25", so similar would be fine.
Dave recommends BMR or Sam Stranos springs, in this thread https://www.solent-renegades.co.uk/...ou-done-your-vehicle-today-149.html#post85710

BMR are available from my usual place. 93-02 Fbody BMR Lowering Springs | WS6store.com Reading the text they do sounds good.

I'm possibly being sent to the states at the end of May. I'll see if I can get these shipped to the hotel. At least the weather should be warmer, so means less space required for clothing in the luggage, more room for parts.
 
I think you’re Eibachs are a lower drop than that.
Here is my old TA running on BMR’s. Stranos are about the same drop and spring rates.

Ah yes, my current ones are 1.7" drop Front, 1.8" drop Rear, I think 1.25" would be better, just slightly higher. I went too low. At least I have invested in a low profile jack to get under lowered cars. With some speed humps I may not scrape on being just that little higher.
 
I don’t believe you would regret either BMR’s or Strano’s. Strano is well known for late model f-body handling and the BMR’s are basically a copy of his spec.

Emailed Strano, actually got an email from Sam Strano himself. Brilliant. looks like I'm getting these, they have many in stock.
 
Order placed at Strano. :)
 
Still making their way here. They went east for 300 miles which was the wrong way, but I guess it was getting to a more mm ajor depot that would drive it west. Its in Ohio now, so getting closer to South Dakota.
 
jUST LIKE XMAS FOR YOU LOL,,
 
Getting close they were in a depot 280 miles away, now they are on the move again. Hopefully in the direction towards me. Its Bank Holiday here on Monday. So not due to arrive until Tuesday.
 
Springs are here. I do have all 4. Only unwrapped 2.
