Hello -
I switched to these springs from OSH :
They are dimensionally identical to the previous springs. It is hard to determine their "load", but they are a lot stiffer. I went to Century Springs and found this list below :
The first entry is my original spring, so it has a "Rate" of 0.57. I can't tell for sure, but at a minimum, I am now working with a rate of 2.6. This is not good. As you can see in the YouTube, the grill block is not closing anymore :
Here is the 0/53 MPH angle comparison :
It's definitely twitchier. However, the video emphasizes the *ends* of the grill block, which have no support, so I think I am ok.
I will leave these springs on for now because I want to see the IAT and FWT temps. I may still have enough coverage for good freeway performance.
In the meantime, I am going to look for springs with the same length, but lower "Rate". I will need to find a match among one of these :
