Title: Spring de-coding
Post by: 84 Fila on August 31, 2007, 04:25:06 PM
I know there is a code to springs in the car on the door sticker, but what springs are what? I'd love to know for my car what springs I really have. I searched ad didn't find anything. Here is the sticker

Codes possibly change from year to year, so a "S" spring for '84 may be different than a '88... The books list several different springs for our cars, but what I've seen doesn't give any detail on rates...

Talking '87-'88...

The V8 cars seem to have numeric codes for the front while the TCs have alpha codes... Usually the Sports and TCs have the same codes for the rear... My white TC has different codes(front and rear) than any other TC I've seen...

You said so your self talking from 87-88. I'm assuming that 84 is different. I'm just wondering whats on my car.
 
The front springs MUST have been changed as they still have paint and very little rust. The rears look like normal, a bit rusty springs

Only for the front. I want to know what my car "had" as I'm trying to document this car as much as I can.
 
Anyone with a TC or other 84 wana compair notes?
