Spring rate question?

[Ultrakla$$ic]

With a progressive front spring rate of 182-217 lbs/in

This quip was taken from the CJPonypart springs. Do these front spring rates of 182-217 lbs/in mean that these springs will compress lower than the spring rates of the Eibach Sportline front springs that rate at 217-331 lbs/in?????????

I need the front of my car to drop a bit more so I would purchase these just for the front springs if the CJPP springs will compress more than my current Sportline front springs.

Thanks!

Those are spring rates and have nothing to do with the ride height or amount of drop. You should review the thread with photos of drops to pick out which springs you want.

The simplest definition of coil spring rate is discussed here:

That will help many folks understand "spring rate".
