Jeff: Yes it is the same guy, he's just not Starvin that much anymore.

Marv: Comp. Engineering shows one listing for the rear springs, and yes they state that right side spring is stiffer than left. On the fronts you have 3 or 4 choices depending on front half weight and spring rate desired. Remember when I changed the front springs on my Firebird, the fenders dropped right down leaving little room between the fenders and the tires. When I changed brake master and steering box, wheel clearance became acceptable. I say pull the weight off, scale the car, then change springs.
