???


Anyway, I looked and could not find a part num on two of my front springs. I can tell you that side by side there are not any differences I could see early on between the progressive and specific rate.
Mark at PAS would know for sure.

No prob. It will always be a tad high until they settle. Takes 6 months to a year. I like H&R sport springs. TYhey sit a little lower immediately,

ride height on a foxbody saleen should be about 25" from the center of the rear fender lip to the ground. I've checked two different setups, mine running 17" wheels with 255/40/17 and my friends with 16" wheels running 245/45/16. Both sit identical. I hope this helps.
