What are these springs

Post by Plasticman »

Had Gixster up to stay and do a bit of work on the vans , now he has a very straight panal day van with an aaz in , supposedly lowered but it was dragging its ar-se like hyena, basically there was 1 1/2" suspension travel on the rear!
So we jack it up and remove a spring, well I can loosely be described as a spring, it measures 9" high and the wire is 12.3mm, see picky

fited a pair of std rears I had and it now sits really well, any ideas what they may be off?
