2G AWD coil spring rates and lowering amounts

[99gst_racer]

Upon shopping for a new set of lowering springs, I compiled this little list of spring rates and lowering amounts. So, I figured I should share it with you all.

*Note – This information is represented to the best of my knowledge. Most of the numbers were gathered from reputable vendors and/or the manufacturer. If there is any information that needs to be edited or added, please PM me.

They would not disclose spring rates for these. They explained that there are too many variables to accurately use spring rates. I'm assuming these are comparable to the Sprints.

They would not disclose spring rate information in fear of other manufacturer spin offs. They informed me that they are typically 20-30% stiffer than stock.
