I.ve been in contact with coilspring about making me some springs for an xe and they've said they can almost make any poundage and length, the spring are road use and not want to be too hard, i'd also like them to be about -75 mm so i could also do with an approximate length, i know courtney used to do there own xe conversion spring as wondered if anyone knew the specs of those
Also can anyone confirm the length and poundage of a -75 mm rear spring, i.ve got in my head about five inch in total does that sound correct, not sure if it matters but the car has a full set of Koni adjustables which I'm happy with and don.t want to run coilovers

Thanks in advance

Are coilover poundages comparable to 'normal' spring poundages? I'm not too well up on suspension differences... If so I enjoy my 325lb springs on the road, albeit a little stiff for very bumpy country roads.

Courtney used to sell 250lb springs as their xe upgrade. If youre going that low, I would plumb for 275 tbh.

275 pound sounds like a good bet then, and Mieran is that front or rear length

Thanks everyone btw
