Plus, if you are replacing the springs, wasn't it because you felt they were worn out? New springs, assuming they are the correct ones, will restore the correct ride height and ride quality back to original specs.

I'm pretty sure my car spings were the original ones? They did seem wore out and tired. Thanks for your input.

I've put two sets of front springs on my car; had to cut each set to get the proper (stock) ride height. I used a composite blade in a circular saw to cut them. Only reason why two sets is I cut the first one too much (I hate when that happens, haha)

That's what I'm thinking. Of course I didn't measure my car before I took the old springs out. I did check it before to see if it was sitting at the correct ride height and it was.
