Default spring question

does the space between the coils on your suspension springs mean anything significant?? like if the coils are wound closer together or spaced farther apart? i was just wondering. thanks

If you are asking if the space makes a difference on how it rides, no, not as much as the spring rate, which is probably determined by the space, i suppose. But it is also determined by the kind of metal used to make the spring. Basically, higher spring rate on a lighter car means a more stiff/bouncy ride.
