Yes, but the fronts s/b thicker (6k vs 4k). However, the rears were pretty much crushed out of shape from trying to hold all that weight w/ a rate thats too low. They should say on them what the rate is.

Gotcha, that's what I wanted to know. The rear springs are very distorted like they're struggling, lol.

Yeah those 4k's in the rear look like what I always imagined a blown spring would look like (can't hold it's coils anymore)

Just placed my order through Adam for a set of Swift springs, decided to stick with the 6k rears instead of 7k, I don't want to risk them blowing out prematurely. So it's a 8/6 setup with Swifts, should still handle very well for what I do with the car.

Thanks sstevojr for the help and clarifications!

sstevojr, I can't thank you enough for taking the step to find out the correct spring sizes. I had my Swift 8/6 springs installed today on my BC's, holy crap it's a night and day difference. I have the fronts set at setting 19, rears at setting 20. It handles so much better.
