Ok, I have two sets of springs and I don't know which to go with.

FRPP or Ground Force spring is the same height as the Hotchkis but has less rings spaced further appart. The FRPP also has bigger diameter.

I've attached some pics... any thoughts/ personal experience or preference?

Thanks

The more coils the softer the ride/rate.

That's correct assuming you have the same diameter of wire, but you might find some that have a thicker wire. You have to compare apples to apples. I've also seen a few that are progressively wound that have a softer spring rate for part of the travel and a higher spring rate once the tightly wound coils collaspe together.

I prefer 1500#er's on the front. My old road race springs had 3 coils I think:D

Terry put in the FRPP springs on mine and I like the ride, etc.. with the addition of the Hotchkiss sway bars, its perfect for me..
