I do not order due to the ridiculous brokerage/customs fees with UPS.

The part number for my rears was 80-1878 SPORT , don't have the number for the fronts. That price is a great one, I got my set from Import replacement parts in WA.
I had no problems putting them on. Just remember to put a rag around the top of the rears as the nut/wrench will dissapear in that black hole if dropped.

Tirerack currently has them for $94@
I think the price is good through June.

do uncut IAP springs give the car a significant rake? I seem to recall something like a cut rear set and stock front to get a nicely balanced ride height (on a Coupe, but same suspension)

I did that for my spider but with the KYB shocks. The front A arms were relativily parallel to the ground and rear wheels/tires filled in the wheel wells nicely.
I've since gone to Koni shocks and found the rears were lower with the cut springs so I sourced a set of uncut red's and now the car is ballanced looking and handles great.
My recomendation...KYB's- look at cutting one coil in the rears but with Koni's leave the IAP red's alone.

I tried to dig up the stuff from my '71 Coupe from back around 2000 or 2001...I swear I had IAP springs w/ yellow Konis and I ended up with quite a rake in the car. That said, maybe that was an older generation of the IAP springs or something like that. Seems like there may be better spring options out there nowadays like there are better options for just about everything else on these cars than there were 10-15 years ago!

What is the best adjustment for front yellow KONIS . Some people advise full soft set up for road usage .
In the official KONI site in the " front adjustment procedure " link http://www.koni-na.com/comp.cfm they suggest to make one half turn .
From your experience is this half turn set-up too stiff or give harsch ride for road usage ?
Full soft set up is adequate to improve handling or is it very soft ?
I would like to improve handling without bouncing or any trouble to the 39 year old chassis of my 124
