I bought a set that was supposed to fit an Avanti, but they measure 48".
Where can I buy a set like you have? What do they cost?

If they are arched differently the measurements will be different. 2" does
not sound like much. Once the weight of the car is on them, there may be
little difference in height. If they sit too high after a break in period,
take them to a spring shop and have them rearched.
