Possibly not the best quality - but extremely good value at that price

Isn't a fully open to fully closed movement of 2inches a tiny bit short???
Also (you'll have to excuse me as I can't remember what poundage my springs are) but I think 180 is awfully soft??
Maybe someone will correct me, hopefully. Are these going on a CEC Adam?
regards,
Steve

180lb is a little hard for the rear, and a too soft for the front. Fortunately springs aren't too expensive.
You want softer rather than harder. I've seem 275lb for the front and 140lb for the rear for a cec mentioned somewhere.

Spring load depends on where you place the shocks on the wishbones, halfway in = 90lb at the wheel + half travelling distance.
So you can easily make work with whatever setup you decide.

Stick with them to get you on the road.
Springs arnt pricey to change later on.
