Btw, I just got a few sets of the "Kilen" springs made by Lesjofors. The fronts are pretty much identical to the OMP springs. Same # of turns, same free height, almost identical wire length and wire diameter was ~.01" larger (~0.66"), but that could have just been thicker powder coating.

Yeah, if you get a chance. It would be interesting to know. I had all the measurements but I think that spreadsheet might have been lost...

We are using the Kilen Fronts with 1/2" spacers and S&R rear springs on the silver/green car and they were great!

I have a full set of Kilens on my current daily driver with spacers all around and they feel great, not too stiff, just a great road-hugging feel.
