Factory spring dimensions? was created by Lambert

Hi do we have the dimensions of new road springs as supplied by Suzuki for the gen3? Just looking at the available options and there's significant variation from the suppliers such as suplex, kyb and monroe ranging from 275mm free height on a 105mm diameter in 10.4mm wire with 8 coils, up to 300mm free length on a 103mm diameter in 11.3mm wire with 7.5 coils. This is for the rear. I could do with knowing so that I can maintain the relationship between the tow ball and my twin axle trailer without stuffing up the nose weight etc.

One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.

The standard rear springs are different each side. Nearside is thinner wire with fewer coils, offside is thicker with more coils. Both should be the same length. If you can find one manufacturer offering both then you should be good. I couldn't find a manufacturer that differentiaed correctly between left and right, so going genuine might be best.

This is why I wanted to check what they should be. That I can then compare accuracy. Also factory are in the 100 quid a corner range as opposed to 25 for after market.
