What spring rates are these? (they were sold from Clayton to a fellow member).

Oops - reread the post. They are 250 in/lb if my memory serves me correctly.

that's what I thought.

for those wondering, custom GC's read the length and spring rate in standard measurements (inches, ft/lbs)

the bundled ones are like this. it's not metric either (already tried).

How do I tell what my spring rates are?
Ground Control sells Eibach Race Springs (ERS) which are labelled by 3 different values in the following convention: length.diameter.spring rate. However, ERS will come labelled in either Metric (mm.mm.N/m) or English (inchx100.inchx100.lbs/inch) units. 180.64.61 is the same thing as 700.250.350. The conversion from Metric to English is (/.254, /.254, x5.7) "/" means "divide by", "x" means "multiply by".
