    Default ae86 stock spring size

    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.
