    Wow that was a long title...


    Anyways yeah the title pretty much explains my situation. I was hoping to get some PAC racing springs at 700lb to replace my 650lb coil. I have the ICON stage 1 front coilovers that lift up to 3.5 inches (I believe these are the extended travel ones).

    Here's a pic of my set up:

    Icon sells a 14" 700LB spring you could use. .

    Or you could order the PAC springs. Fancy orange!

    Call PAC before you order to make sure they're the right size for your application. Don't take the word of some guy on the internet.

    It's safer to stay with the manufacturer, but a linear coil spring is a linear coil spring.

    You can order from wherever, provided you know the ID, OD, spring rate, length and if there are any other special spring properties (cuts or chamfers, etc)

    FWIW I just removed my #700x14 because they were horribly stiff. And with Dbl cab V6 & 150# up front. I'm going to go with 14x600#.
