If you are refering to the kit with SAH606 & SAH1081, I can highly
recommend them. The free length is the same as stock with a couple more
coils. They give a supple ride and the ride height is a bit taller than
stock (perhaps 1/2 inch). For me on the rough roads in the northeast, they
are perfect.

Replace all 4 springs at once. I made the mistake of replacing only the
rears and wound up with scary oversteer until I did the fronts.
