Hey guys i have a couple coil springs laying around and would like to find out what rates that are. I have a few that i think are around 350 and some that are around 450 but they all look the same and would like to know whats what because i think i was running a 350 and one 450 up front last year lol. So if anyone knows where or if theres a way to find out on my own let me know that would be great. ---

maybe you could ghetto rig a jig of some sort. Rate is lbs/inch so add weight till the springs compress 1 or 2 inches. A load cell in a press would be best but those arent easy to get. ---
