Default New springs for Bilstein PSS10s

I'm looking to eventually up the spring rates for my PSS10s, though I'm coming up a little short with researching the spec of the springs themselves — can you just order a different set of springs from Bilstein directly or would an offering from Swift or H&R fit given the correct spec? I'd love to go up from the standard 250/400 to the 400/650 max without revalving the dampers themselves.

Hi,

Having tried that, I wouldn't recommend upping the spring rates unless the shocks get revalved to suit.

They need more rebound control and less compression.

Ahh good to know. I must've mis-read something then on the forums.

What are the specs of the springs that are part of the PSS10s?

PSS-10's come with

Front; 250/225 (main/tender)
Rear; 400/685 (main/tender)

Its a somewhat unconventional package so you really need to know what you are doing since spring lengths affect main/tender crossover points.
