Spoon lowering springs--What is the spring rate?

How much do they drop the car and what is the spring rate? Two questions in one...

Thanks in advance to those who know.

Re: Spoon lowering springs--What is the spring rate? (BlueR)

Why do they say so on their website then? The pics look like they are progressive for sure.

I assume we aren't talking about the customizable straight spring right?

I think the conversion is kg/mm x 55.88 = lb/in.

Re: Spoon lowering springs--What is the spring rate? (BlueR)

The lowest straight spring Spoon lists is 8 kg/mm. If the springs are 6.5/5.5 then it seems they could only be the progressive. Or are there more that Spoon doesn't list?

There is only one set of progessive springs. As stated the spring rate is 6.5/5.5.

The linear rate, straight springs are meant to be used with their adjustable damper kit.

Re: Spoon lowering springs--What is the spring rate? (Reid)

Thanks, I figured they were progressive. I was wondering if anyone knew the spring rate range, as 6.5f/5.5r I'm assuming are the maximum spring rate values.
