I have a set of '79 GT front springs that I acquired from a TB member a few years back but never installed. Three 240s later I'm thinking of using them.
I see that all the major suppliers are now listing this HD spring 1229337 as the only available "stock" replacement. (14.5mm coil with about 16-3/8" free length) That's what my GT springs measure.
Before I decide to use them I'm looking for feedback on what I should expect if I install them on my '84 242 DL. Car is all stock right now with Volvo hydraulic shocks. Suspension is tight so if I'm going to take it apart it is for upgrading the suspension. Not interested in lowering but could go with IPD bars and gas shocks.
