[DeTomaso] spring spacer

Sun Aug 4 20:54:29 EDT 2019

Thanks for confirming that is the spacer.

SORRY!

I should have added that the four are all different.  Alone with the ones I
removed from 5177, I picked up a set of supposedly Grp4? (great price,
couldn't resist)

Those values are MY calculations for spring rates (pounds/inch).  (I think
my Youngs for the material must be a little low),  

Left to right;

          Original rear

          Grp4 rear

          Original front

          Grp4 front

Diverging from my question, I am not pleased with the lack of difference I
found for the Grp4? Front/rear, but the shocks look good.

That's what crossed my mind, then I looked at the springs, comparative wire
diameter and number of coils etc. and concluded that the annotations were
probably not spring rate pounds.

Yes, it is.

The annotations on the photo would suggest you have mismatched springs for
some reason?
