According to the 2CV racing website the standard rate for the front spring is around 1000lb... they uprate it to about 2500lb... ouch!
In case anyone else need to know..!!
Happy Christmas Howard

Howard,
800 lbs/in for the front springs, 880 lbs/in for the rear ( which are shorter than the front springs and/or have fewer active turns).

Thanks very much Ken,
Actually this info was to pass on to a Uni student who asked me for arm and spring dimensions and rates so he could complete a thesis on "2cv suspension elastic forces due to spring compression" ...
He has the info now so good luck to him.
Regards Howard
