Hello!

Could you tell me the standard spring rates of sapphire 2wd?
The 4wd is stiffer?
And how comaprable the normal sping platform and the coilover spring rates at the rear. (for example 250 lbs/inch coilover means ??? lbs/inch standard spring rate)

2wd cos are 190lb" front, AVO coilovers are 300lb" front.
2wd cos rear 200lb" AVO coilovers, don't know std ford ones for rear.
Confused when you mention comparable platforms ?
On the front the spring rate will be what it is, as it uses the same points as the std spring ie vertical.
At the rear it will be different as it uses a different location point for the spring, there will be a much lower force exerted on the spring by cars weight due to lever effect of effects of the two different mount positions of std springs versus coilovers, have not measured so do not know off hand lever ratio.

Yes yes, the front is same.
I am interested in the rear coilover/normal ratio and standard rates.
