Springs different for Auto/Manual Tranny cars ? wtf ?
When I go to order, all the sites ask what type of tranny I have. I've seen someone post here who specifically listed he purchased under a certain # with a manual tranny code. 
Could someone clarify ?
I'm about to order B&G springs. (1.6" drop all around). Does anyone know if I will need a chamber kit?
I am gonna keep my stock SE shocks/struts for a while. (they only got 55k on them)
Thanks!

in my service manual it lists stiffer coils for auto trans vs the man trans. I think this is to handle the extra weight. I havent seen aftermarket spring manufacters make different sets of springs for auto or man trans cars.

The reason I ask is becuase I am going to do a 5spd conversion sometime this year. Well, i'm glad there is no, or at least very little change between the springs. Just wanted to make sure it was safe when I convert. Thanks Turbo.

the difference is very minor. The only thing ive noticed is Eibach/Tokico combos on auto's seem to be a tad bit lower then Eibach/Tokico on manuals. no biggie.
