I lined up a set of front springs from a 944. Does anyone know if these are any stiffer then the 924/931. The guy from the hybrid board sent me this description.

"Ive weighed each one and they are both 5.6 lbs. 5 lbs. 6 ounces.
They are roughly 16 inches non compressed measured from the floor to the top.
The wire diameter is very close to half inch.

Lastly, theres three 1/2 inch white dots painted from the factory on each spring. They are from a 1987 944 NA. "

What do you guys know about the usefullness of these springs?

The answer lies HERE, in some obscure Aussie website.

Well with that usefull chart I found the springs should have 2946N..which might be around 160 lb springs vs the 140lb spring the stock 924 has.

the after market adjustable columns from paragon or other sources will fit your struts fine and you can pick your ,own height and weight springs as needed , check ebay for ones you need Jesse
