Make sure they are sitting right in the spring cup as well!
Agreed!! definitely!
The spring stiffness results from a combination of wire thickness and number of turns -
If 2 springs are wound from the same thickness wire, the one with less turns on will be stiffer
If 2 springs have the same number of turns but different wire size, the thinner one will be softer
Assumption here is that the coil diameters will be the same, considering they are for the same fitment..
Fitted height is a different issue, and not only related to stiffness, obviously a longer spring of the same stiffness will give more ride height, but a longer, softer spring may not, just depends how much softer..
