NoHachi Wrote:Max they are... The length of the springs is totally irrelevant..What is important is the rideheight that the car ends up at..which is a combination of springrate/length and car weight. So they might very well be "stock rideheight" even if their uncompressed length is shorter.

That doesn't mean you can use them with stock shocks though! These puppies are right out there at the limit of what koni-yellows can handle. With stock shocks you will have a downright nasty and dangerous handling car and you'll probably blow them within 10.000km's

I understand what you are trying to tell me. It’s not the problem of ride height or spring rate or shocks... Only one thing worries me: that this spring will have free play in full shock extension. I’m talking about stock long-stroke shocks. I have yellow adjustable conis on my Hachi but they are long-stroke AE86 conis, not AE92 short-stroke. Once, I made a custom 8kg/mm springs but those springs had approx. 4 cm of free play in full strut extension and I don’t like this.

Fun is not the straight line!
