exactly. So I'm glad you agree that he (the guy who was butthurt about being "ignored") should have checked with the manufacturer for the specs. :0)

Or the rate when the spring is on the car? Which car?

So, given the complexity of what at first sounds like a simple question, I'd rather not get into it. Sorry. Lots of other spring manufacturers do the same, although some do quote rates (usually of linear springs, though).

If you don't think you can purchase without the hard numbers, give it a little time, and people will start posting their own reviews. Then you won't have to take my word for it that they work nicely.

just something to consider. that quote is regarding the Mach V springs. everyone is interested in different things. when our boy ninja looked for a coil set up he may have just wanted a drop, talked to some people that are running the setup heard the ride was a little bit more harsh than stock and been satisfied. if you want spring rates call up H&R
