Sector111 quotes the rates of the front springs on the Sachs setup as 177/531 lbs/inch... while the Track Pack springs are 180/271 lbs/inch. Still I don't recall the shorter coils on the Track Pack being so completely compressed.

Just for comparison, here's what the Nitron DA/Eibach combination looks like uncompressed (single rates at 525 front/650 rear... unfortunately I have no pics of the springs installed under load). You can see that the fronts have only about 2" of travel, but its entirely at 525 lbs/inch.
