Default What's the free length of a stock CRX front spring?

I need the full length, off the shock with no tension on it.

Thanks

ooh, how soon do you need to know? I can hopefully get you the info by the end of this weekend when I have access to my stock (~130,xxx old) springs again.
Would springs of this age be of useful info for you? If I forget, PM me, but I'll try to get it by the end of the weekend if no one else does first.
(btw, I would be measuring, not by statistics or anything...)

I measured the free length of the stock front springs to be 13". (they also had an ID of 2.5" according to my measurements)
I also measured the legnth of Tenzo R front springs which were 11.5" free. These were the longer springs in the box which I thought would be the fronts...correct?
If this were the case, these springs are only a 1.5" difference and due to their higher spring rate, they should lower even less than that.

Do the longer springs go on the front or rear?
One other thing I noticed is that the shorter pair had 2.5 ID on one end then imedialy went to 3" ID for the rest of the spring. Does this give any clues?

I helped you, maybe you or somebody else could help me.

I'll have pictures later if you want. It just shows a tape measure up against it.
Just out of curiosity, what are you planning?

Sorry 56kers if this is bad, but I never minded technical pictures.





There are some pictures just to verify.
