Most of the coil springs from the UK that I have run across have the actual spring rate engraved in the top/bottom of the spring. My car is a 1800 GT (wood chassis/Volvo 4 cylinder) so the springs may be different. As I recall, the stock springs were 150-160 in the rear and 225 in the front.

Front springs have no give, could probably support a locomotive, probably wrong springs.  Online calculate; 252 pound per inch of movement.  Rear springs;  12 inch free length, .400 inch wire diameter, 13 coils.  Online calculator; 148 pounds per inch of movement.  Rear springs had give, could be correct.  Question, what springs should a steel chassis Marcos have with a V6?  Thank you for the information.  Steve V.  Marcos in Arizona USA
