lol, well thank u all. my friend has been busy at work and has been unable to mesure them but i'll keep u posted.

barber, thank u for the offer but untill later on in the year i cannot take a $600 dive. lol, but i can't wat to see them on ure car.
he's giving me the springs to me for about $150, that i can afford. lol, and if they fit its another +1

as for coilovers being not so good, i've heard it from ppl who've had them and normal lowering coils. they say coilovers are a pain to adjust all 4 (or at least the front set and back set) the same. also, with the lower u go, the more bouncy the ride is. its not a stiff feel like i'm assuming they wanted.

really, lowering my car is spending money i dont have, but for that price, if it works y not. if it doesn't, well it was worth a shot, lol

as for u...... lol, u are very wrong (or my prof. doesn't know whats he's talking about or dumbed the topic down) but in my first year (taking electro-mechanical engineering) i took a course of dynamic forces and static forces....and springs are rated in neutons per meter..... it is quite linear.

i could be completly wrong if toyota (and other car companies) manufacture their springs to not be linear but in that case i am not aware
