S197 GT Spring Rates and Heights (no guessing allowed)
ALL the REPUTABLE SPRING RATES and LOWERING HEIGHTS are on this thread. This way I, and many others, can make an informed decision. It is my understanding that the FR500 springs use a modified design and wouldn't apply to the typical street car- such as a full coilover setup. This thread excludes full bodied coilovers.
Thanks to SteedaGus and F1Fan (Chip) for helping complete this information.
