SRX Rear Springs

[twyztid]

Damn near looks like one of the new ones you have is a stock spring miss marked.

No. Stock LTX springs are supposed to be 94-degree angle but are 16.5-lbs springs (.394" wire diameter). These are the 18.5 springs (.405" wire diameter) but the angle between the legs is way off on one. They are supposed to be 100-degrees but 1 of them is 108-degrees.

Bring this back up. So the SRX springs (pre-21) with lower ride height at 100 degress are actually a bit stiffer spring with bigger wire diameter? Was there an improvement in ride by doing this (I assume lowered height)?

Yes, that is correct about the preload & spring rate. I have not been out to test mine yet but I will be this coming weekend.
