Same spring rate as before (8KG) but slightly longer length (200mm vs 180) so it will be interesting to see the net effect on stiffness.The rears had sagged over the years and adding the optima battery in the spare wheel tub and sub/box hadn't helped the cause. My main goal was to regain some height adjustment and and so far in static height i've pick up aprox 15mm (have gone from 70mm hub to lip to 85mm, with an 18") which puts the rear control arm aprox 5mm above level, which is just how I like it.BeforeAfterkthnxby 4 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80918-what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/page/630/#findComment-1555423 Share on other sites More sharing options...
