I have a set of Leda coilovers and have no idea what poundage springs are on them..

I am going to buy some new ones from Merlin (etc) and am going for the 350 lb ones...

I am assuming I need the 1.9" versions?

The measurement is for the ID (inside dia).

350lb springs??

A bit excessive I'd have thought, or have you had this poundage before and it suite your driving style?

1.9" is generally the size thats used on the rear of a nova. 2.25" is usually the standard size but iirc ledas are generally 2.5" but i will measure mine later if you want?

For a track car/good surface a higher spring rate is OK.

PM me dude.

I am guessing that all Ledas are the same. (2.5")

I just though around 273-300 was what most people were running for their track cars?

depends on what you like really.... some might run seemingly silly high rates, and others might run very soft.

65mm is just over 2.5" Will.
