How much variance is acceptable in load/rate test on Comptech springs???

MIne are as follows:

Front load / rate

1299.5@7.600in / 253.7 lbs/In
and
1342.5@7600 in / 256.1 lbs/in


Rears
637.8@9.38 in / 200.6 s/in

610.4@9.38in /194.4 lbs/in

Is this an accepable match???

A question for a question:


Didn't they put front-driver, front-passenger, rear-driver, and rear-passenger tags (or equivalents) on the springs?

The weight is not exactly the same from left-to-right and visa-versa.

And you asked an interesting question -- since I wonder how much the variation would impact some "tight tire and wheel fits" when lowered...

I should read before I write.

The paper says install spring with higher spring load/rate installed on the drivers side.

I guess that makes sense since 1 person is mostly in drivers posittion...
