Don,
I'm not real mechanical, I usually pay for work other than brakes...
Do you have the specs of the springs you bought---or do the old ones 
need to be taken out and measured?  Since springs aren't as pricey, 
if I can't find out what I need w/o pulling the suspension apart I 
will probabally order springs from Rory, I've had good luck with his 
parts, but they are sometimes pricey, plus it'd be nice to only pay 
one set of shipping charges...  I am still waiting to hear from AVO 
regarding the shocks, how was your experience with them?
Thanks again,
Paul
