Red, .60, .55, white, blue, .50, .45

One thing I do notice is the new springs seem to have a softer initial "touch" then the painted. I guess the only thing you can make of that is: the car may have a more dead feel in the middle. Something that could get corrected with a half turn of preload maybe. Wont know till I try it.
That would explain why my xti had more push with the new. 50 sides and white center than it did with the old blue springs all around.,
