LEAVE EM! Not only does it look badass, but it rides nice and if you dont take the sway bar out, it handles nearly identical to the tired V8 springs I had before. Hell, even without the sway bar it handles JUST FINE. Then again Im used to drivin a 66 mustang and a 77 F100 so what do i know

66, good looking car, but, that's an extremely misleading post. By no means do 4cyl springs act anything like worn out stock springs. Lets be realistic, you like the drag setup, considering you are using smaller rims in the back than in the front, likely for more straight line traction, so you can let more air out of the rear tires.
It's a well known fact that 4 banger springs act exactly like drag springs, the sway bar changes very little.
KT, do a few searches, and you'll see people here that swap to them for better 60ft times, but make no mistake, they completely ruin the handling of the car.
And i do speak from experience.
