Internal diameter i supose someone i know is offering an old set to some other friends to try on their Terranos, just wondered if there was any mileage in it or if they aren't going to fit anyway, regardless of height/rate.

110 and 130 rear springs are a different coil diameter than other LR springs (nominally 7" OD versus 6")

Thanks I thought they'd be different, spring rates are massivly higher too, I think they're on a hiding to nothing but let em play if they wish.
