Default Pro-Kit Vs. Hypercoils---Check it Out!!!

Here's the difference between these two. The Hypercoil is
on the left and the Pro-Kit on the right. Night and day
difference with the SLP Eibachs. When and if you lower
your car, look for more spring rate, You'll be happy you did.

I'm curious what you are trying to show with the pics? The relaxed length being longer means one of two things to me. They either don't lower the car as much or they are a lower rate.

The longer "relaxed" part of the spring means it's softer which has less
spring rate. The pro-kit's rates are approx 95-140lbs & the Hypercoils
are approx 165-215. Made a world of difference on my car which originally
came with the level 1 slp bilstein/eibach setup. The pro-kit and Hypercoils
lower the car the same amount in my experience. The SLP springs are
about 1" taller in fender/tire gap. I'll get a picture later when I can access
them.
