ae86 stock spring size

[45aken]

hello,
just wondering if anyone knows what the inner diameter and height of the stock rear spring are? mine are chopped, and i cant remember if they taper or anything. for the height, even a centre of wheel to guard height will do.
thanks

Inner diameter is 110mm no taper
Uncompressed Height is 340mm
by the looks of it, 4 free coils
and a guess of about 10mm wire thickness, i don't have any verniers, not even cheap plastic ones

wire diameter = 11mm

outside coil diameter ~ 131mm (which could change when compressed)
inside coil diameter ~ 112mm (which could change when compressed)

free height ~ 340mm



my guess is also 4 free coils.

no taper

according to my spring maker,
the rear rate is 110lb/in (1.96437641 kg/mm)
the front rate is 100lb/in (1.78579673 kg/mm).

go here and get a image resizing tool, right click you photos smaller, it's great for slow pos computers like mine.
