Default Weight difference of front springs, Stock vs HALs?

What is the weight difference between a set of stock front springs and a set of HALs?

My stock WS6 weigh 8.75 LBS each.

I weighed my QA1 springs at 8# 8 oz each. My factory springs at 7# 14 oz each and with the spring perch 8# 14 oz. The QA1 springs are heavier but you don't have to use the modified spring perch or rubber mount so the weight difference is about the same once mounted.

i just weighed mine a month ago. the factory fronts with springs vs. the QA1's with springs was a 5lb. total difference with the QA1's weighing less. sorry, i don't know the two weights, but i do know the difference was 5lbs.

It's not much..

I lost 8-10lbs swapping from the stock shocks/springs to QA1 R's with springs
