    It's looking that way. Someone has to have NOS Eibach or Spax around.

    Still on the hunt for what else pops up for sale. In the meantime, I'm trying out V-Maxx springs custom made to order from the Netherlands.

    No he didnt, unsure if he's even heard of them. After limited research of semi-available options: Cobra, Intrax, H&R, and VMaxx I decided to take a gamble. Also late in the game I dug up a company called MTS that I have yet to research. It's still early to give an accurate review of VMaxx since I blew up the 3hp22 two days after install.

    What info did you give them to have them made?
    Making springs isn't rocket surgery, and it should be relatively simple to get springs made, lets hope we are reaching that point of manufacturing capability.

    They were made to their own 'secret sauce' specs. Try as I might, they wouldnt fill me in on spring rates only that they were 20% stiffer than stock & 40mm drop front/rear. It was a gamble but figured I'd give a shot.
