Default Type R Spring Questions

Hey Guys I am thing about getting some Type-R springs for the del sol? Sad things is with all I know about suspension I know nothing about the stock Type-R springs I no they generally lower a stock car and inch or so, but what are the spring rates, and I assume the are progressive rate springs?

Anybody got a pair thier willing to let go of cheap?

Thanks!

IIRC the springs are 249 front/linear and 249 rear/progressive ... please correct me if I'm wrong. You should be able to find a set on one of the boards for around $100.

246 lbs/in IIRC.. but whatever that's close enough either way. And you are correct about the rears being progressive and fronts being linear.

Well If I was going to be expo I would do that... but maybe we can work out a transfer deal, I am sure that there are enough people who do NASA events that could corrier them for me.

What is the length the front and rear springs are they the same? Has anyone run the front springs all thy way around, or swaped springs front to rear and so.
