I have just had my front dampers serviced at Bilstein and just fitting the springs to them. When I last changed the front springs (due to powder coating accident), I fitted 8" long ones as supplied by Faulkners and they never quite seemed the right length. The adjusters are right at the top of the threaded part of the damper and offer no adjustment. If I lower the platforms even by a few threads, the spring is rattly loose, and when I jack the car up,as the wishbone lowers the spring becomes loose. I have spoken to Faulkners today and he says that going to a 9" spring would be O.K, but he wants to know what the spring rate is. It is not marked on the spring anywhere (possibly covered up when powder coated). Would it be 150lbs? Thanks in advance of replies. Stuart
