Weights for GM Stock (Front and Rear) and MOOG 162 Linear have been updated. The table is also sortable so you can choose lightest to heaviest or the other way around.
The Strano details are worked out.
Should be an interesting next week or so.

First, nobody asked me. Second, I think I know how this test came about.... notice how only one set of fronts got tested and were some 45 pounds off the claimed rate.

Yes, only one set of fronts for BMR were tested but this was out of curiosity. I didn't even feel the need to put them on my graph. As stated above, we have a set of Strano's coming and I will have you verify them as Strano's before we test them. I have a set of front GM springs I can test as well if I choose to do so.
This test data was geared toward rear springs. I don't want everyone in a tizzy over this and I certainly don't need the pot being stirred. Let's keep it civil.

Front spring test data has been taken down and will not be posted until the Strano's are tested.
I am also reviewing our test method for front springs. I want to be absolutely certain when these numbers go back up in the coming weeks they are without a doubt dead nuts.
Disclosure and Transparency: When one sponsor makes a smart@$$ remark about another sponsors product because of something I have posted, it causes me to pause, and take a harder look at my own test procedure and results. This will in the end will be a win-win for all involved.
