Re: Rear Coil Spring replacements ??? Anybody have some made?
UPDATE:

Here's what I have gathered so far (all from Mychailo posts or his site).
  1. Type of material = Steel...AISI 9254-K spring steel or better. Powder coated.
  2. Number of coils = 4.7 coils (Rear Springs), 5.375 coils (Front Springs)
  3. Stock Spring Rate = 110 lbs/in in the rear, 140 lbs/in (Front Springs)
  4. Free length (Spring Height of an uncompressed new coil) - Rear = 13.6", Front = 14.75"
  5. Wire diameter = to be measured
  6. OD = to be measured
  7. Type of Ends =
    • Rear - Bottom of coil (closest to ground when mounted) - Open End - Not ground
    • Top of coil (Strut tower end)- Closed and not ground. Right-Hand Helix when viewed from top down
