Re: 82 CEs with FE7 (hunt4cleanair)
Do you have an FE7 car? The spring is the same as the previous years FE7 spring, steel leaf instead of composite spring. Shocks, dunno probably same as well.
82 FE7 is very easy to recognise, they're the only ones w/ aluminium strut rods. No other year had that.

The rear spring is a 2 1/2 wide 9 leaf steel vs the standard composite for 82. The rear shocks were silver painted but I cant remember what exact type they were, but I beleive they were original AC Delco? and they were pretty worn (but still shiney -CA car w/ 78K). I swapped them out for KYB Gas-A-Just all around. There are the aluminum strut rods and a rear 7/16 inch sway bar.
The front springs rate I cant be sure if it is 460 or 550. The shocks were the same as the rear and there is a 1 1/8 inch sway bar.
