I am putting together my coilover setup, and I have decided on the following springs:
350# 8 inch front
250# 7 inch rear

I was looking through the eibach catalog and noticed that the lowest rate spring they list in 7 inches is 275 pounds. I cant seem to find a 250 pound 7inch spring? I know that several member running 200 pound 7 inch springs (aka 180.64.35) is there a special eurpean catalog that lists sub 275 pound springs in 7 inch?
My other option is to use an 8" spring in the rear, but I am concerned with wheel to perch clearance. Can anyone comment on this? I am looking for a stock to -1" drop.
thanks

Ground Control has the springs you seek on their website.

Dang, you're right. They have it in 8", but that's not what you're looking for.

That's strange. Aren't the rates set at 300/250 when you order a kit from someone other than GC, say from ebay or something? Those are the rates if you specify AGXs as your shock.

FastNX

I think 300/200 are the default rates.

that whats so strange... 300 and 200 arent even listed in 7 inch. Did Eibach discontinue sub 275 pound springs in 7 inch length?

can anyone confirm that an 8 inch spring in the back will work without rubbing? do I need to modify the upper perch to fit an 8 inch spring in the back?
thanks

I talked to Ground Control ... the springs are available, they said they will correct the website

Dave,

I have *something* close to that at home in the shed. If you can give me a week, I'll check to see what they are.

thanks Matt,
I placed my order shortly before my last post... I would still be interested in hearing about any spare springs you have.
