Austin, they are indeed very similar to the stock set up. The spring rate is 20% stiffer, and they are about 2 inches shorter (in material) and sit about 3/4 inch shorter than stock, it is really hard to see in the pictures. The spring rate seems to make the huge difference here, We looked them up last night, I cant remember what exactly they are, but noticeably stiffer rates. Like Scott said, they should have been the springs the car came with, but they are a nice stepping stone in between stock and coils.
