Original springs height - dmc4087 - 18 Nov 2010
Hi guys
Can anyone tell me what height the original springs, front and back, should be?
Thanks

Hi Thomas, sorry for th eintermittent responses today, had a very big hand-in at uni.
The rear springs are only about 1-2" longer than they appear to be when still mounted in the car. They aren't compressed much when there' sno weight on the wheels.
The critical thing is that they should be stiffer than the (stock) fronts.

No problem Martin - would you have a set of rear springs?
From DMCTALK, the front springs are around 14 inches, rear = 16 inches. All of the springs on 20114 are 14 inches for some reason.
