    When I installed the aluminum headed 5.0 in my Comet I had to replace orig springs as it was stiff riding and standing on toes at almost full travel...

    Scored a $20 deal on a new set of 8088(see chart), it's great now... Are the ones installed in pict below and in link(but were yet to fully settle)...
