Suspension spring measurements

[kaos]

Does anyone have the measurements of a stock spring to hand?

ive got a pair of lowering springs from another vehicle and im wondering if they might fit....


i need width edge to edge roughly with a tape measure will do and the hieght

[classicswede]

The od is about 130 mm off the top of my head. The length does not matter but you need a minimum of abot 11".

The spring length you need for the ride height will depand on spring poundage.

Front springs for 360GL
Length 338mm
Coil outer diameter 129mm
Coil wire diameter 12mm
One coil rises 53mm/360 degrees
Has 6,5 coils
Stiffness 24,76kN/m

Front springs for 360GLT
Length 312mm
Coil outer diameter 127mm
Coil wire diameter 12mm
One coil rises 53mm/360 degrees
Has 6,5 coils
Stiffness 26,01kN/m

Rear springs for 360 models:
Thickness 6,5mm
Length 1250mm
Width 57mm

These are measured and calculated values, there are some values from Volvo at technical specifications section of this forum. Stiffness is possible to calculate with program I made, but only from linear coil springs and simple leaf springs, nothing progressive is supported.


Here is program, it is beta as lack of feedback how close it tells truth, so use with knowing that:
