All springs are different free lengths, so what are you trying to achieve?

according to maxmods the max spring rate of eibachs is like 257 fro tyhe front...i am looking at 275 lb springs...so saying eibachs are 13" free i can prolly do an 11" or 12" long spring to find a happy medium between the drop of Eibach and Progress.....i know length is irrelvant to height...thats y i am comparing simliar rated spring lentghs...it a lil experiment i am doing

Lol! I just remembered that I had a pic stored in Cardomain. The black coil on the right is the Eibach and the one on the left is the CMS/Springtech.

You cant compare the free length, Eibachs are progressive the AFCOs are linear.

^^^^ something many encounter when trying to compare is the misconception that they're the same. Like Sutter said above..
