Whose springs are these?

Also, your username would make more sense if your "<" was the other way around. Unless of course you are an import fan.

I was just coming to post this because I was so confused. I am a software developer by trade and noticed it instantly.

awfully tight on spec for lift. luckily coil bind isn't supposed to happen for a bit more. make sure and check each one w/a height gauge mic when installing. don't be afraid of spring shims, but don't go wild with them.
