Subject:Re: Got some GoWesty 2wd springs!

Love mine! I'm running their 2WD wheels & tires too.
I put about 50 miles on mine
before I got it aligned.
Drove over all the bumps etc
I think they settled in quite a bit
so I'm glad I did it.
they supply the upper control arm spacer for free
too, if i recall.
I have a 91 Carat & really didn't like how low it set.
Now It's sitting up there where I can have a good view!
