I just checked a set last Wednesday, and wrote down all the pressure. I can't find it though. I do remember that I could have shimmed them .030" with a .560" lift cam and still had .050" to coil bind, but spring pressure only went up a little bit.
I'd recommend just installing them dropped in. If they don't provide enough pressure like that, upgrade to a better spring.
The only went up like 6lbs on the seat or something really low... Sorry I don't have it, and yes these were the yellow springs.
What are you trying to use them for?
