Default gt500 springs... worth it?

I found an ad on craigslist for factory gt500 springs with 45 miles on them for $80...

First.. will they fit without a problem

and second, are they worth it? will the drop/stiffness be significant or should I just spend the extra money and buy a set of new springs?

also a guy is selling bassani axlebacks for $250 with less than 2500 miles on them.. how do they sound? better than pypebombs? worth it??

no.
they will lift the front of your car because they have a spring rate meANT FOR A MUCH HEAVIER MOTOR. EVEN IF YOU HAD A GT IT WOULD LIFT AND MAKE YOUR CAR HANDLE WORSE.

sorry about the caps

I have firsthand knowledge, they lift your car up. Also the price is way too high, i got shocks and struts, front swaybar, STB, and springs for $75 plus $75 shipping
