to get replacement springs
you need to identify what brand shocks are on the car. call them start from there, they might not even be the correct shocks for the application, so just be aware as you are researching the springs. 1-relaxed length
2- extended length 3- total travel 4- mounting end type will be the issues to look for. it may be easier to just figure out the specs you need and get a new set of coil overs right off the bat. take them off, get the car to the ride height you want, and measure for shocks.

QA1 has units, at least you can see some on their site and get a taste for cost.

This suggestion is a long shot but may help someone else with a similar problem and is easy to check - make sure your rear tires are the same diameter......I had some South American Goodyears on a Kirkham that had about 1.5" of stagger from the factory....needlesss to say it turned anytime I got on or off the gas....


Change the springs!
