    Default how much drop are 150mm springs

    as title I've got some 150mm springs what drop are they 60mm, 80mm? 150mil is the actual height of them, just wanted to know how much lower are they than standard.

    150mm drop would be zero springs and shocks

    Depends on the spring rate too, springs are rated in Weight/Displacement (change in length)

    i.e how much weight does it take to make it 'squash' by how much height.

    So you could have some 150mm long 2000000lbs/inch springs that lower the car by nothing, or some 150mm long 2lbs/inch spring that lower it by 180mm

    So basically what Mikey said.

    well to give an idea, the -60mm rear springs I have sitting around are about 190mm in height.
