What are the spring rates on those? How much does it lower the ITR?

does 232.80 front and 132.80 for the back sound right? I have the stats here, but there are so many numbers I don't even know?

as far as lowering..... probably about an inch or so. give or take 1/4 inch either way? When my arm gets better I'll post pics of before the springs and after.

someone let me know if those numbers sound right

Progressive rate springs front a rear, nice. here are the stock specs.

The front spring is 246, the rear is 140-246.

From what i can tell, you gave the rates under no compression 123 rear, and 240 front. But since they are progressive those numbers change all the time essentially.

Those are pretty long springs - let's see them on the car

BPR - who uses 7" springs

once my arm gets better I'll put them on. I might not put them on until winter is over though.

with snow and the salt it would probably be better to put them on after.....

I don't know we'll see

why don't you just ask Suspension Techniques? I'm pretty sure they would know.... if they will tell you is another story.

good luck.
