Eibach Pro: 1.5”
F: 137 lb/in
R: 171 lb/in

anywher from 250-500# direct through Gaz or BAT OR you can order springs that are the same diameter from Ground Control and get springs that are well over 500#s.

there is no set generic spring rate that comes with them other then the stock 250# ones, but you can order anyhting you want.

The default loadout from BAT is 330# 9" front, and a 250# 8" rear. I just noticed the stickers today as I was removing them. LOL

Ground Control lists a Focus specific coilover conversion kit on their site are you saying they don't actually make it anymore?

I was told no separate parts, only whole kits.

springs obviously the exception then because those are all generic?

Anyone know the spring rates on the older FRPP/KW springs? The listing for KW is for their coilover kit. I know my spring rate is no where near 333.

I didn't see D2 coilovers listed anywhere here so I did some homework and with the adjustments they list in Kg/mm, the following rates would be doable with the Focus D2 F-18 kit:

D2 Coilovers:
F: 5kg/mm (= 280 lb/in)
R: 3.5kg/mm (= 196 lb/in)

Above is the lightest 2 settings. These things are adjustable up to 1,232 lb/in. They have 3.5/5/7/8/11/13/15/18/22 kg/mm settings.

The next setting would be to go:

F: 7kg/mm (= 392 lb/in)
R: 5kg/mm (= 280 lb/in)

Unless the conversion tool I used is wrong or I'm missing something.......
