RH side spring was found to be broken in yearly inspection...
I tried to search rockauto & summit.. but they did not have front springs to my -89 SC... however for -90 model rockauto did have this:

ACDELCO Part # 45H1118 More Info {Sold in Pairs #88913651}
SPRING,FRT -; w/A/C or AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Does they fit or does -89 SC have different springs really????

They list that part number compatible to:
FORD THUNDERBIRD (1989 - 1992)
FORD THUNDERBIRD LX (1989 - 1997)
FORD THUNDERBIRD SC (1990 - 1995)
MERCURY COUGAR LS (1989 - 1992)
MERCURY COUGAR XR-7 (1993 - 1997)

I have an entire used set if you want them....

They should be the same for all years, 89-95 SC

'89 - '95 SC coil springs are all the same.

Also, '96 - '97 T-Birds with the sports suspension option (code JJJJ) are the same as the Super Coupe springs - rated front: 349-403 lb./in. rear: 509-637 lb./in.

Thanks for the info!

fastsc92: I'n interested but shipping cost is outweights even affordable price in used but heavy goods :(

txsc: noooo. :) that thread is only for members and I have heard I have to wait months to my membership to validated..
 
About correct springs... until I get any better info I need to ask :)
So, They list in rockauto that ACDelco 45H1118 fits for -90 SC model... and also fit to -90 LX model !!! so are Moog CC872 springs that are for -90 LX compatiple to ACDelco 45H1118 and thus for -90 SC ???

CC872 info:
Code:
Spring # 	InsideDia 	BarDia 	InstallHeight 	Loadrate(lbs) 	SpringRate(Lbs/in.) 	Free Height 	
CC872		3.677		0.656	14.00			804.0			290.0					16.88			One Square End and 1 Tangential End

Point is that it takes 2 weeks to get 45H1118 but there are LX (Moog CC872) springs available within couple of days.. but I dont know if CC872 is really suitable for -89 SC :(
 
I don't want any money for them, just cover shipping and they are yours. I just need to get them out of the basement. My guess is that it'll cost around $30 for shipping but don't quote me on that.

I really appreciate your offer but if Rockauto.com shipping estimator are any good shipping cost to the Finland is about $145-$165 !!! and if it goes that I have to get springs from the US then it is same to get new springs :(
 
And quess what, when I went to AC Delco page and then "Cross Reference for MOOG CC872" (LX springs..) It gave AC Delco 45H1118... arrgh.. I'm not still sure about this, what fits, what not :(

And when I browsed -89 SC from AC Delco it gave 45H1118 for correct front springs. So yes, "45H1118" seems to be right spring but is "MOOG CC872" really compatible, does anyone here used those CC872 springs or are all of you juts gone to lowering spring kits? :)
