    picked up some rear coil springs for the vic, need some info about installing

    the springs appear to be a variable rate spring, i pulled them off a relatively newer grand marquis, about... 99-2002ish, first and foremost, will all years of CV/GM interchange? or were there any change in the suspention configuration over any years?

    also im curious if our cars are a simple pull off the perches and push back onto them install job, (with standard spring compressors of course)

    or is there anything else i should be told about? any info for a first timer, please let me know

      awesome, this job was easy as heck, the car feels more firm now with the vari rate springs, but didnt fix the sagging ass problem, so im still going to have to find me some wagon rate springs or buy that lifting coil block
