Default Old School Acura Legend, is it a dead market???

I work at Vogtland, a manufacturer of automotive lowering springs, suspension, coilovers etc etc. We have an application, that we are thinking of discontinuing, we just dont know how much of a market there is anymore.
The springs would be for an Acura Legend 1987>1990....do any of you guys think or know if this would be a good application to keep around?
It would be lowering springs that would lower the car aprrox 1.6 or so inches....

Thanks !!!!!!

I would be interested in them but wouldnt have the money for them till like june or so. One place that you could judge the intrest for them would be http://www.acura-legend.com/ there are quite a few people on there with first gen legends that would love more aftermarket support for these cars.

i would say go ahead and discontinue them.
1st gen legends are not much in demand anymore as the 2nd gens are.

Before I push these on the G1 guys at A-L.com, I just want to clarify that there is a difference between the 86-88 sedans and all other legends from the first gen years. The strut doesnt rap around the spring on the 86-88 sedans they are seperate. Just a little curious about this, because I had a lot of trouble finding springs when I owned an 88 sedan. Definitely keep making making the springs.
