Spring Rates

It will,, should may not be hte right word.. LOL

I've tested lots of coil springs and best you'll get is +- about 10% from marked value.
I used to order 4 or 5 sets and then use our spring tester to find a matching set then send the rest back... This is pretty much independent of vendor by the way..

Eibach and H&R seemed to be the best of the bunch on being what they say, The race springs were usually close than the street springs (By a small bit...) Some cars/drivers like progressive rates, some like linear.. I like Heavy Linear for dry fast tracks and lighter progressive for the wet.

So if I were to get a set of say 600 front and rear from Eibach, would I get a 600 front and rear from a different company also? Like swift springs? or would I have to talk to the company about their rates and my car to really figure it out?

Thanks for the info!

Also, would e30 springs work? The weights, if I recall correctly, are about the same
