Quick question. I remember a few months ago that I did the maths on the relative spring rates and expected ride heights of putting stock gen4 springs under a gen3 and I seem to remember that the maths and reality were not quite together. When you fitted them did you by any chance note the relative position of the free heights of the springs in reality rather than the specified paper measurements? I'm trying to work out the end result of the h&r neg 45mm springs if applied to the gen3. And no I don't have a set of genuine 3 springs to compare to , mine are taller after market ones.
