Ok one more thing: I know the exact brand and type of coils on my RS1's: they're HyperCoils, and their model number system is pretty simple (they go by "free coil length", basically a coil count, the I.D., and the spring rate). So the ones I have now are 8A0500 rear (8 coil, 2.25 ID, 500 lbs/in), and 6A0650 front (6 coil, 2.25 ID, 650 lbs/in). You can see their catalog page here:
