honestly i dont remember the spring rate, but they are a little rougher than eibach's or prodrives.



lower than eibachs or prodrives.

i think they are about 2 girly fingers in the front gap, and 1 fat man's finger gap in the rear end

up front its 196.25-204.1

in back it is186.25-193.7

stats from http://www.ravensblade-impreza.com/t...ng/spring.html

i think forester/leg/impreza suspension componenets are all interchangable... i have heard a few foresters running sti suspension...

i can measure actual ground clearance tommorow if you so desire, let me know tia

From a post by Geoff:
" Divide by 56 to get kg/mm"

divide those pound rates by 56 and youll get the kg/mm figure you are used to.

i apologyze for the late reply, ive been working on a heavy research paper the last few nights (and tonight)

anyways.
i took some pics, bad pictures unfortunatly.

** btw- wheels are 16X6.5 OEM wheels, tires are 225/50/16

i couldnt find the longer ruler, and all i had was a translucent ruler lol
roughly, from the top of the tire to the highest part of the fender...

front - ~ 1.5 inches

rear - ~1 inch

(these are the front pictures)
notice how for the fhree figure picture, i had to angle my fingers to get them in.
also notice i have semi-slim girly fingers haha
