Coilover Spring inner diameter

How does the inner diameter of a coilover spring affect it, such as larger inner diameter vs smaller inner diameter? thanks!

Well...it's not something people generally worry about. You just get something that fits and is a common size so you can use the springs you may or may not have left in your garage. 2.5'' and 60mm are both common sizes so most manufacturers stick with those sizes. I think 60mm is a little lighter, but 2.5'' is a little more consistent in terms of rate. But there is very, very little difference. I try to use 60mm because i have a shelf full of 60mm perches and hardware...

my guess is 65mm, which you can sometimes use 2.5 inch springs with, but i'm not sure. call stance.

swift does make 65mm springs.
