I live here in Oklahoma City and picked up a set of Sonic Springs (1.1) from Rich Desmond several months ago. They have been sitting on my workbench in the wrapper until today. I finally got around to tearing down the front end to change the springs only to find that the new springs are 8 inches shorter than the original springs that were in my 2004 Connie. I have done many searches online and I can't seem to find a definitive answer as to whether or not I have the correct springs. I went to the hardware store and bout some PVC pipe (which tuned out to be too big) and some washers to use between the springs and the PVC spacers. I have sent an Email to the Sonic Springs website to try to find out if I even have the right springs. I have tried to reference the number written on the wrapper my springs were in (3234) to the listing on their website but it doesn't give a part number. I only received the springs with no washer, PVC, or instructions.
My questions are:
Should these springs be 8" shorter than stock?
What size PVC is best to use for the spacers?
If these springs are correct, does anyone know how long I should make the spacers?
Any help would be appreciated. My garage looks like a Concours salvage yard right now and I would sure like to start making forward progress as soon as possible.
