is this something you can easily measure with a known weight?
This I don't know but I'm sure a spring maker knows.The manual shows laden weight.
I needed to be sure as I need to raise my front end on the 62 a good 1.5 inches.I will be seeing what can be done for springs.
Some have recommended stretching the springs.??????Others a custom made spring.
I do think I will have them made to suit.
Changing will be a winter job.I will just have to watch that the spoiler will clear some of the bigger speed bumps till then.
is the value perhaps the pounds required for one inch of initial compression?
weight _is_ a force, but yes, you are right to correct me in that i said 'pounds' implying mass rather than weight. but lets assume we're all experiencing gravity at around 10m/s^2...
thats useful to know - thanks.
