Stock spring interchangeability
Stock spring interchangeability
This may be a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway. There's a deal on stock 94-98 springs on ebay. Ones for a coupe, others for a vert. To my understanding, 79-04 lowering springs are teh same, so I guess stockers may be the same too? 
I'm asking bec. my friend's fox needs springs badly. It has sagged cut springs so bad that there's almost no suspension, to the point it's kinda scary to drive it.

IIRC, the set off the coupe would be a better choice. Someone I knew used stock rear springs off a '94GT because the rears on his Fox were wasted. You will get the 4x4 ride height back, but it should improve the ride quality. If the current set of springs in question are that bad, buy them just for safety's sake. Nothing on your local CL or don't know anyone trying to get rid of their stock springs?
A wrecking yard has an early sn95 v6 coupe for parts. He'll ask for the springs. His are severely bad. The thing that worries me the most is that fox struts have shorter travel than sn95 spec ones, IIRC. I got him a deal of NIB KYB struts last year, but hasn't put them on the car due to the spring issue. He also needs all the rear shocks replaced too. One of the quad shocks is even bent
