Is this a pretty good deal?

Default Is this a pretty good deal?

I went to a local parts dealer and asked about a pair of front 4 cylinder springs. The guy told me $50 for both front springs and thats with them pulling them. I tried to get him to let me do it but he said it was against "Their" policy. So is this a pretty good deal or look elsewhere?

Yea i would, but the chances of me finding some of those around where i live is pretty slim, iv'e never even seen a turbo coupe around here, so....parts....i would go Ebay but i hate dealing with the bids and keeping up with it...

I dunno, i guess they'd be a little stiffer for performance? Im just wanting a good cheap set of 4 cylinder springs. Ive tried buying a set off my friend Chad but he's a damn pack rat and doesn't get rid of anything so thats out of the question. But seriously, is $50 a resonable deal on two front 4 cylidner springs? Im thinking it is, cause they're removing them to.

Its not a bad deal but you should seriously check out ebay. If its a buy it now than you wont have to deal with the bidding etc. Just click buy it now and it shows up at your door.
