Looking for a pair of coil over springs to fit OPM coil overs (I believe 2.5x7). Specifically looking for spring rates between 275-375lb springs. PM me with what you have, Thanks J-Man

So shiny! Thanks for the lead Bobby.

Jon is trying to soften his suspension (I believe he has 450 lb springs in the rear) for his daily commute. I'd imagine he is worried about imbalance as he has a 27mm torsion bar if he goes too soft in the rear. He has Illuminas dialed to the softest setting and his ride on the wonderful NY streets is harsh enough to seperate your fillings from your teeth.

I'm leaning to 250-275 lbs for the rear but I'm sure the young man would appreciate the advice from those with more experience on the 1G suspension then I can offer.

I went with the 250's and am happy with them paired to my 24mm bars, though I would say they are still stiffer than the front so they might be a good match to the 27's also.
