Default Patriot Gold Install Height and #'s on Seat???

Does anyone know what the install height should be and how many pounds on the seat there should be?

The reason I ask is i have a set from when I was cam only with a 224/228 .588 lift, that have 2000 miles on them. The guy at the machine shoop is telling me that they only have 110#s on the seat and it should be around 140-155??? However, he didnt say at what height that was, I am just curious if maybe he doesnt know the right install height or what?

I would figure out why you have 110 on the seat with the Patriots. I would also take the Patriots over the Manleys myself. Did he give you an installed height or is he saying the lost their seat value?

install height was checked at 1.800 with the seat and retainer in place.

I would shoot a PM to Gunnar and talk to him about it before deciding what to do, something doesn't sound right and he may be able to provide some insight on things to check prior to going forward. Hopefully if there is another issue this will help avert problems down the road.

Have you looked at the PRC dual springs?
