Never knew that about old springs - I've always thought that when they get old, they sag, not stretch. I'll forget the science behind it and just keep that in mind, though - thanks.

FWIW, I do have some ST parts on my 745 - namely, 3 of the 4 control arm bushings. I guess worse comes to worse, they aren't hard to replace labor wise, so even if it's lesser quality, I can deal with it.

The 4th one is a Meyle (German) bushing. Don't know how that one got mixed in with the lot.

-- Kane ... in any case, they're all working.
