Haha! I know Dan! Good luck with it. It's probably the only way as the perch to tire clearances are too close for the use of normal dia. springs

Hey Dan on the BBS I noticed you were asking about stock spring rates. I've got the "spring constant"s for them on my FSM, but that's not what you need right? They look a bit.... low to me....

Anyway, here u go just incase this is somehow right:
fronts
GXE: 112 lb/in
SE: 134 lb/in
rears
....hmm, the rears are the same, but their free length is shorter.... WIERDNESS!! Their wire and coil diameters are also smaller.

I got these from Phuong's site, maybe they'll help. I believe the second one is a comparison pic of GCs and regular Eibach springs. I could be wrong though.

no problem. In case it matters, I think those are for a 300ZX, and not a Maxima. They still look the same though.
