while spring diameter may not be exact science , it can be used as a guide to help us figure out aprox spring rate.
here are some measurements I took from the stash of springs 12.88mm = 200# 11.88 = 180# 11.26mm = 165 progressive 10.8mm = 140#? 9.7mm = stock X# |

Welt
43/92 SP100 10.7 mm (100#) 67253 SP180 11.7mm (180#) Eibach 336767 080.250.0225 9.86mm (225#) 1000.250.0175 9.90mm (175#) So it seems that you can tell with the weltmeisters, but not the Eibachs. |
