Hi the springs maybe in the ball park on poundage. But first of you will need to know whether the length of the dampers is correct for you
application. Ie they state one pair Front at 12" open length and the other pair Rear with 11.5" open length. If the open length is WRONG
for your application then they are of no use to you.
They are GAZ Dampers so quality is alright.
GAZ - (4) shockers - Front 12" OL, 275lb springs. Rear 11.5" OL, 175lb springs.
Cheers Matt

Thanks for that matt.
since my chassis is still in the development stage surely i can make my chassis to take any springs?
Or do they need to be in a certain place?

Hi Get the chassis how you want it and you can spec the dampers to suit afterwards. Don't worry about having to buy springs and dampers together
as a package from one place.
Ideally if you can get the open lengths to be somewhere in the 12" - 15" area you will be fine. Remember the longer the damper the more
travel it will have. Ie a 12" open length will have a 3"ish travel where as a 15" open length will have somewhere in the region of
4 1/2"ish travel . All dependent on the bump-stop arrangement ect.
HTH cheers Matt
