are you referring to dead coils? Any lowering spring will have them. They're there to expand when you're airborne to prevent the spring from falling out. Performance springs (e.g. YYZ) probably wouldn't have them, but that's a totally different territory.

I'm not going to go dig up that thread where people posted the pics of the difference. That's the only difference is the dead coils.

^suck it. Go search old threads, the springs are different. Maybe the ride the same sure but one binds the bottom coils the other doesnt.

Appreciate the responses, and here's a summary of what I have learned:
1. users were incorrectly referring to dead coils as coil bind (coil bind is something that happens not built into the springs).

2. The only proof that they are the same is this:

turbosmart4 "Ssc = cm = cm ssc = canuck motorports"

3. Powell says that CM (rears) can possibly fall out at full extension.

Now you see why I asked? I'll search again, but responses to this point suggest they're not the same.

Good enough for me, again I appreciate you finding it. SSC's ordered.
