BSI coilover sleeves/hypercoil springs

[jp43044@netzero.net (jp43044)]

Hyper coil springs one of the leading spring mfgr's in the U.S.  Mostly used
for Drag racing.  They are also used Strange Eng. excl. for their coilover
setups.
They tend to be pretty pricey but over all they are an excellent spring.
