DISCLAIMER: any of these measurements could be wrong.
i got bored, so i measured a front spring too.
both pictures show the springs upside down, as they sit nicely on their ground edges. In the car the ground egde goes at the top.
FRONT:
tapered spring, not constant taper.
rate = 100lb/in (1.78579673 kg/mm) according to my spring makers measurements
free length ~370mm
wire diameter = 11mm (this is including paint, so possibly a bit less)
number of active coils = 4 (my guess)
inside diameter near bottom ~114mm
inside diameter at top = 93mm
REAR:
no taper
rate = 110lb/in (1.96437641 kg/mm) (according to my spring makers measurements)
free height ~340mm
wire diameter = 11mm
number of active coils = 4 (my guess)
outside coil diameter ~ 131mm (which could change when compressed)
inside coil diameter ~ 112mm (which could change when compressed)
enjoy!
