Default stock spring lengths

Anybody know what the stock springs lengths are for the .1RS? front and rear....can't find any info using a search. Looking to uprate the springs, but need to calculate which lengths to buy for front and rear when going stiffer.

Use 6" x 60mm ID Swift on your favorite rates, and add a zero rate Hypeco 60 ID plus an isolator (I like the Genesis ones).

The stock springs are unnecessarily long for the available suspension travel, so they add weight, lots of unsprung weight.

I went with a similar setup with Swift springs in my Fiat, and despite the stiffer rates, my spring package is lighter than the stock Titanium Fiat springs.

Would you recommend the 1 inch or 2 inch Genesis spring isolator - does it matter?

Are you talking about using the Genesis Helper spring guide, or the Genesis Coilover spring spacer? If the spacer, I assume the 1" version?
