I traded my '95 SE with 70,000 or so on it & the springs were perfect .
My brother's '95 SE has 145,000 miles on it & the springs are perfect .
Are we just lucky individuals ??? I can answer that for you ... usually NOT ! I think , like most of this stuff , it's just the luck of the draw . Don't even think to condemn all of the '95 SE's for having bad springs or that the springs are junk right from the get-go . The '95 SE's had a fabulous suspension setup , unrivaled by ANY other year "garden variety" Contique . It's all a gamble as to whose will fail .

Just my 2¢
