my picture shows 2 setups. the reds came on a parts car i bought. the ones on the kyb's are stock (3 paint marks on each). the ones on the koni's have a smaller gap between the coils at the top and they are approx 5/16" in dia (+), they have a silver paint mark that runs the length of the spring. the coils on the kybs have the same spacing and they are about 1/4 " in dia. are the ones on the reds considered progressives and does anybody have any idea what the lb rating might be?

The top one "looks" stock, 100# or so. teh bottom one is a progressive. No idea what #.

As far as 180s being 140s, are you subtracting the begining fraction of a coil at each end to compensate for "dead coils?" You may be taking off too much. There is very little physical difference between 180# and 140#.
