Not sure of the brand, I bought them from a friend of mine years ago, they used to have a small metal tag with "175" on them, but that has since fell off. As far as drop, I ran these with Ground Control weight jacks about 1/2" from the bottom. I'll upload pics of the springs and my car to show height here in a few.

Sorry to get off topic
How come you went with such a heavy rate spring for the rear?

Well with the Watts Link I wanted to lower my roll center so I went with stiffer springs, which you need depending on how low you lower the roll center, so I went with 250# springs and ended up at the 2nd lowest hole to balance it. Feels like a different car now, and is actually less rough still over bumps/transitions than the panhard was with the softer springs.

I have the Midwest Chassis watts set up on Hypercoil springs
Koni DA's car is lowered.

I too am also trying to find the right sweet spring rate.

The road around are the worst.

Does yours ride like a brick with the stiffer springs?

I am also on some low profile 19's

No I thought it would be rougher with the stiff springs, but it really isn't bad, I think it feels better actually since I've lowered the roll center.
