Spring rates

[88YB1]

Can anyone direct me to a shop in the metro Atlanta area that can test the rate of my front coil springs? I'm in the process of dialing in my car and need the information so I can plan a meaningful stategy.

Thanks
Chuck

1) You might get by with a press, a dial caliper, and a calibrated bathroom scale. Use weights for calibrating a min and a max on the scale, take two loaded measurements AT the calibration points, subtract the difference in height.

2) In my experience, Hypercoils simply don't lose rate (unlike many others I had before).
