Don't bother with OEM springs. New OEM springs *will sag* within 6 months. I know this from bitter experience on 2 of my Aeros.
And FWIW I went with Wagon springs on my sedans hoping that the wagon springs would be stronger/tougher they are not.
.
you have options:
1 - [my recomendation] keep the old springs, and use spacers to raise the car to the proper height.
2 - an aftermarket spring. I have no experience but perhaps other can speak to quality alternatives.
3 - *if* must replace a spring, replace it with a used spring (its already pre-sagged)
To my mind there is no reason to buy a new OEM spring for these cars.
