Stock spring rates
Anybody know what the stock spring rates are on a GXL (mine's an 86)?
Is there a location on this board to find all the specs on the car? Or is there somewhere else on the net?

The FC suspension came in a soft and hard variant. The hard setup was used in the T2, GTUs and the sport models. Soft for about everything else. If I recall correctly, the difference between hard & soft setup was no more then 20lbs/inch.

does this mean that my S has ~130 lb/in rates?
Mazdatrix has tested some stock springs and some aftermarket springs and this is what they show:

IIRC, a 20% increase in spring rates is generally safe for use w/ the original struts.
