HR has been no help in trying to figure out what the spring rates were judging by how much the springs sag when weight is applied to them I'm going to guess they were in the 200-290 lb range. In either case they were progressive rate spings so it would be difficult to know for sure.
I didn't really expect everything to fit so well aside from tying the spring in place so it doesn't fall out of the perch at full droop it fit with almost no modification needed. The real test will be Sunday but I don't expect much to come of this aside from either being slightly slower/faster.

The car definitely developed some interesting behavior on the street almost feels like a VW awd car so the linear front springs can't come in soon enough.

But one thing I did notice is that the car isn't really all that more uncomfortable hell with decent shocks I think 400-450 might not be that bad on the street.
