8x275 rear springs

While I ponder the valve collet, decided to get on with the job intended for today: longer springs on the back.

275lb/inch staying - but going to 8" long springs - same length as the originals. 

Pictured:

   8"x250lb/inch  - as supplied with the original kit from GBS

   7"x275lb/inch  - upgrade but too short risking coil binding

   8"x275lb/inch  - final springs - same length as originals but upgraded 'spring'

Its obvious and written on them what they are - problem was I didn't make a note of that prior to the original build and ordered my 7x275's before dismantling the rear end. 

Level is approximately right now, 120mm at the front, 130mm at the back - will check again after the next drive out. Much happier with these springs, I didn't need to put anywhere near as much pre-tensioning in for the ride height required.

Note

All sizes relate to Ford based circa 2012 car with my weight as the driver - milage will vary on other Zeros. The principle of same dimension spring varying springyness seems to be good though.
