    I want to replace one of the broken 700 lb springs on my kings 2.5. Eibach needs to know the spring's "uninstalled length". I'm guessing this is a standard spec. Does anyone know this measurement?

    Next time you can try cross shopping to see who sells it cheaper.

    Reason?

    Eibach and King uses the same coil manufacturer (as well as several other companies).

    Post the goods. I've talked to King about that rumor and got a flat out denial.

    Curious, do you know why the spring broke? Was it a corrosion/rust issue?

    I was under the impression that King and probably many others outsource coil spring manufacturing to Eibach. I’ve never heard anything about Eibach outsourcing coil spring manufacturing to someone else. Isn’t that one of their core competencies?
