I picked up a NOS set of front springs from Racing Dynamics. They are all out of rears. I did a very unscientific press-down comparison with my H&R OE Sports, and they seem to be slightly more firm. As you can see in the pic, they are slightly lower. I'm going to pair them with blue H&R cab rear springs for hopefully a 1.25" to 1.5" drop for my vert.

Back from the dead!
Just curious over the past 8 years if anyone has found out any further details about the comparison between the green RD's and H&R Sports. I've been running used vert RD's with new Koni Yellow Adjustable Sports (86 2277 Sport) for the past two years (which is only about 2k miles in total)
Recently, my front end is getting real bad and rough- I'm thinking with the s52 and these RD's being god only how old and used- are finally losing their original spring rates. I'd prefer to upgrade to H&R's but really want to make sure that if I do switch over, that i'm not going any softer than what I have now. I have H&R Sports on my red coupe and they work great with Koni Yellow Adjustables
These RD's are really hard to get any solid information on, curious if anyone has been through the same switch or vice versa and what they noticed in differences.
