Do you think I could get away with using single springs? I've always had duals.

Anyone know if you can use just the outer spring from a high rev dual setup? They look identical to the high rev single spring.

Agreed, change them all with new duals since the heads have been cut down to fit the inner spring. Better safe than sorry...

Any tips on removing and installing dual springs in the car? I'm having trouble getting them compressed far enough to get to the keepers. I got the broken ones, but the ones still in tact are being a problem. Same with the new ones going in.
