 I believe you are talking about my efforts. That would be
awesome if you guys could actually get them to make the springs
we originally wanted. Here is a list of measurements that I took
for Richard. These include all of the info on the stock springs
for a 1993 NX2K. The Suspension test points should be the same
between a NX and a Classic. Hopefully this information can be of
some use. I also have it in a spreadsheet that I can send to
you.
