Ah, that's what it was. It would be nice if they made it easy like that on all of their springs.

Default there's no point doing it unless the spring is "totally" linear...
...fixed height kits may have a linear spring when installed on teh car, but lots use dead coils to bind up and take up slack, which means that in measurement the spring isn't totally linear.

This would mean putting the spring rate on teh side of hte spring would be difficult. For example:

10120-20180-30240-40290-50550-60550-70550-80850-91210

or something like that...
