Removed Koni lowering spring...

After a year of suffering, I finally removed the KONI lowering springs shox.com mistakenly sent me.
History:
Last summer/fall, I ordered Koni shocks and springs to replace my stock 93SE (with 17" summer and 16" winter). They sent me lowering springs instead. Of course, I didn't know until my originals were removed. I (against recommendations from my dad/mechanic), I put them on. On smooth roads, it was fine. However, when I got back to SE Michgan, the harshness was terrible... In fact, I think I hit the bump stop more during that 3 months (I had the 17" wheels on until it snowed) than the previous 2.5 years! I think the right wheels rubbed during some uphill/downhill parking situations... Today, with the 16" on (I can't take the punishment of the 17". so I kept the snow tires on until now), it feels like a Buick again. ;-) (I have the upgrade sway bar and MP brace + steering rack brace)
Anyway, I only had a quick spin around the block, so I'll get more driving experience tomorrow. (the KONIs are at the softest setting)
Anyone want some blue KONI lowering springs real cheap? (Toronto or SE Michigan area)? It will lower your car a little more than 1 inch. It looks great for 16" wheels and below, but I don't recommend it for 17"!
