Unfortunately, mine was a bench seat car and I already paid about $125 for
the pair I have.  Sounds like I didn't get such a good deal for the amount
of rust that was hiding under the covers.  The frames are fine, so I
probably will just bite the bullet and get the complete spring kits.

Thanks,
Matt
