i doubt you will find any aftermarket springs that are listed for any H body.





you will have to know exactly what you need. all dimensions and spring rate, but you can buy springs by dimension.

well in that case would anyone know the spring dimensions and rates for a 1990 buick lesabre or where to obtain such information.





Thanks Again!

take one off the car and use a tape measure[img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]





or if you have a good local parts store, you may see if they have a set in stock. then just measure the new ones. but the rate is something you have to calculate.

and sorry, but im not gonna explain how to calculate the rate. mostly because im not too great at it myself. but this should offer a wealth of knowledge. obsorb my little sponge.[img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]
