FS: ST lowering springs + more

Is anyone interested in buying the Suspension Technique springs I had on my 87? My brother took the car in for inspection, and it needs more than what he is willing to fix, so my dad (the owner of the car) and I are going to sell the car. So I am seeing if I should take the springs off and return it to stock height for the sale. So does anyone want them? I would be looking for $100 shipped (in the U.S.) for all 4 springs. I would need to know something this week, since we will probably run it in the auction next week.

Last time I checked the car also has a good condition front lip spoiler. I know this is a very sought after item, since it is hard to find in decent shape. Assuming its in good shape I would be looking for around $50 shipped for it.

Finally, if you are in the area, I did put a 2.25" cat back on the car. Its a very nice sounding custom exhaust with a stainless steel magnaflow muffler. The only way this would work is if you had an exhaust to swap with me + a little cash.

Please let me know something soon. Like I said this car will probably go to auction next week. All the mods/parts will be left on the car unless someone speaks up.

I do not have pics from all the way under the car, but this will give you an idea of the fit and how the muffler looks.

here is a link to the car domain, those are the pics I have of the car right now.

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/818028

you can get an idea of the stance with the springs.

Like I said I will have to check the lip to make sure its still in good shape.

I don't think there are other mods on it other than a cone filter on the end of the stock air set up.

I have an extra Intake plenum for a second gen. that I will sell cheap if you are interested in doing an custom intake work.

Yes I have paypal, but if you are interested in the exhaust too I would rather just do a cash transaction at the time of the swap.

also these wheels are for sale if anyone is interested. Evidently my brother had a blow out and chewed up one of the wheels pretty bad, but the other three are good. Let me know if there is interest.



Also the car has replacement head lights that are about a year old. They are much more clear than my originial lights. Again I would need a swap + a little cash for these.

springs 100

exhaust 100 plus the trade of yours with no holes in it

-I need to look at the rims. You may have to find a wheel to match the other 3...if you are fine with that I will check the condition of the wheel that has damage.

no I do not have clips of the exhaust.

What are you calling a little bit? The car will probably go to auction, next week. I am not going to run it thru the auction with no exhaust. So if that is something you want we will need to make arrangements before the car goes to auction or I will just sell it as is. If I know for sure you want the springs then I can return the car to stock height. That's not a big deal but I have to be sure they are sold before the auction, I do not want to waste my time taking things off the car that are not sold for sure.

No i am buying the springs for sure , Ive been looking for some used ones.

And as for holes in the exaust i just checked it and felt around the muffler and there are no holes , But i just have a problem with the whole cash thing , Since i dont get payed for 2 weeks , and all i have is my cc right at this moment. And i live in pa right now and the car does not have any tags , So would you be willing to drive up here for the exaust ?

no, we must have a mis understanding. This car did not pass inspection. It's not being driven anywhere. If anyone wants the exhaust they would need to drive here and we can swap them in my garage. I'm not going to loose money, I would rather just sell the car as is rather than loose money. Removing the springs, is already a labor intensive job, but I am willing to help my dad to recoup some money on the car before it sells...thats the only reason I am offering those.

ummmm....If I remember I thought it was 1.5" (not positive though), if you look at my cardomain page you can see how much lower they are. The springs probably have around 15kish on them.

these lips were not painted, they are just black. I'll check for damage when I see the car...should be by the weekend.

you are thinking about the intrax springs. The ST springs are black.

Funny, I've had quite a few offers for my 2nd gen. I can't imagine someone else owning it though. I might shed a few tears if I loose my 2nd gen . Back on topic, are the shocks stock? If not, are they for sale

Yes, I got the springs off. I forgot how much of a pain the rears of these cars are. I finished up around 3 am Sat. morning. I told you the springs were black, but they are really gray. They look new. My paypal is cardana24@yahoo.com
I am not taking the lip off the car so the springs are the only thing for sale. Once I get your payment I'll ship the springs in the next few days.

--the fogs are not factory, I put those on. I think they are pilot.

--I have after market struts/shocks, but they are staying on the car.

I am in the process of moving right now and I ship everything from work, so the next time I will be at work will be on Monday. If I would have gotten payment sooner I could have shipped them out sooner. Remember you just payed me an hour or two ago. If for some reason you would want to pay for some other shipping method then we can talk about getting them in the mail tomorrow. If not I will be sending them UPS on Monday. You are also more than welcome to drive here to get them (if you want to do that I could give you $10 back since that is probably how much it will cost me to ship them). Just let me know. I have already had the internet at my house disconnected, so after ~5 today I will not be back online until Monday. I'll PM you with my number if you need to get intouch with me after 5 today.
