1977-1990 Caprice is the same and the springs should fit just fine.

I have used Eibachs and they lower the car about an inch or so. I wanted more so I cut a coil and a half out of my F41 springs and used G-Body rear springs. Smae should work for you as they are both B-Bodies.

Sorry, I should have included those in my prior post. The frame and suspension is pretty much the same on the B-body cars from 1977 through 1996.
