I had send a pic to friend who had several AARs and he said my hood springs were too large and they were not aar hood springs. they are in the original color of the car FK5 and i took a pic beside two B-body hood springs one 71gtx and 72rr is the petty blue spring. I read some info that said the aar had 33 coils and thats what mine has. maybe the springs looked bigger in the pic he saw. just wanted to get the pros opinions. thanks guys
