Technical Spring rates

[dragonwagon]

Does anyone have any data regarding the various spring rates on the 4x4 TA / Diesel & Cross derivatives ?
Presumably Cross springs are a little longer and diesel springs are somewhat heavier than TA ones. It would be useful to know

Springs on the 4x4 and Cross (4x4 version) are the same lengths - the ground clearance difference between the two (just 6mm) comes from the different tyre sidewall heights (and that was lost when they are all supplied on summer tyres). And they are longer than the non 4x4 cars as that why they sit higher. But yes, the springs for the diesel are slightly stiffer to allow for the marginal gain in weight (or at least, the part numbers are different)

That confirms my suspicions. I have wondered about fitting diesel springs to my TA 4x4 in the hope of gaining a few mm's extra. It's rather low to the ground compared to my 141A 4x4
