hey is it possible that these are neuspeed springs?
b/c i got the model number off a set of neupseed springs i was GONNA buy.. which is h55.20 or something.. (and those springs also had the name NEUSPEED printed on them also..) which is basically the same format as the "h&r"s.. and when i searched for part numbers for teh Neuspeed it was something like 55.22.20 or something ... so its really simliar.. and there was indeed one like 55.22.17.. whihc would also match the h-55.17 if my assumptions are correct.. can anyone verify this?

Up until a few years ago, Neuspeed and H/R came from the same plant and were very similar except that Neuspeed had higher spring rates.

My Neuspeed Race has "Neuspeed" written on them as well as the numbers.

I however would NOT buy used shocks.
Doood's one of those you could "trust". That's a pretty good deal for those springs

so what numbers exactly are written on your neuspeed springs??

and sorry.. i dont know too much about springs.. what does having a higher spring rate mean specifically? the load it can take?

heres teh final update on whats turnign out to be the Soap Opera about my springs

i JUST got off the fone w/ neuspeed 2minutes ago. my springs are indeed an older set of NEUSPEED springs (about 5-7 years old, which kind of shocked me when he told me).. this was when h&r made springs for them.. the H-55.17 are the older set for 92-95s.. so im in the clear.. apparenlyt he said the springs normally have a lifetime of like 15 years..
so im gonna keep these ones.. cuz visually they loook like they're in GREAT condiotion.. and considering i paid only 100 dollars (canadian).. its an awesome deal.. too bad i dont have a receipt.. but thanks for all your help everyone!!!!!
