    Lol its a sickness. Its so bad that I actually let my wife drive so I could plug away at some numbers. It's an interesting problem since the spring rate increases but the spring gets shorter so it reaches equilibrium at a lower height (which actually works well for what im trying to do.... )

    Now that I know the length, i did some quick calc's and think that stock spring rate from the OME catalog is low... time for an excel sheet so I can play with the numbers a bit.

    Does that pic give you everything you need? I should have some other angles if you need them, I have the rear spring pics also..

    Does the 13.25 go to the top edge/tip of the last coil?
