Like the title says, I'm looking for pictures of stock (AP1, AP2, CR) springs on the lower perch of Koni Yellows. Your opinion of the setup is welcome also.

Thanks

FYI, all those springs have different lengths and rates. You will not get objective data by asking this kind of information.

Spring lengths are ~ 1/2" from each other, close enough for similar lowering effect across years for the sake of pictures. Spring rates certainly varied between the years and the CR, that's why I'm asking for individual driving opinions.

I have a leaky shock and I would like to explore this option. So, Mr. Robinson, do you have something useful to add?

No need to snap at me. I'm trying to point out the futility of your question. Why don't you do some searching since you are not the first person who's asked a question like this.

Or, you could tell the audience what you are trying to accomplish with your car, and then maybe that will help us help you.

I have searched, every picture I found is Koni's with lowering springs, not OEM length. I recall finding one old post, but the pic was missing.

My setup currently included Eibach anti-roll bars front and rear, 949 wheels 9" + 10".

What I need to know with these setups is whether or not their OE spring has enough length on the lower perch and rate to keep them off the bump stops in hard cornering, rubbing, dive/squat, etc.

I have the McCanless report on the stock spring rates so I can make an educated conclusions on the spring rates I will need. In other words, are my 2005 spring rates adequate for this task, or do I need to step them up with some custom rates/length. I don't want an armchair quarterback giving me their opinion, I would like to get real experience with this setup. This is me doing my research on options outside of adjustable coilovers.

I'm not interested in rock-hard spring rates, cheap coilovers, or custom valving Koni's. My car is DD, road carver, once a year track star. I want a minimal drop, compliant and controlled ride that doesn't rub with my setup. If I can pull it together with mix n' match OE springs and off the shelf Koni's I'll be a happy man and I'll tell the group of my success or failure.
