Thanks I couldn't find that for looking.

So that is interesting, first they don't appear to be handed for the Jimny lean, ok.

Second they are within a few mm of the standard gen3 free length but with more coils and the same wire diameter. That means they will actually be softer than my current springs. So I lower but softer ride. That'll need some hefty dampers to control but potentially be closer to how my land cruiser rides. Hmm lots to think about.

One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.

Using the figures from the TUV the spring rate is something like 13.1N/mm which is very soft. Like I could stand on it and almost bind it up soft which seems wrong. I can't imagine a typo in a TUV document unless they have put the wrong number of coils in?
