custom springs - help with spec

Hi
I live in the UK and am trying to have some custom springs made.

I have approached a manufacturer and have been asked this

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hi,
We will be able to manufacture springs but don’t have any standard measurements on file.

Can you get as much information on the standard springs such as:
Spring poundage
Number of coils
Uncompressed length of springs (off the car)
Compressed length of springs (on the car)
Width of springs at both ends

Obviously I’ll need the measurements for both front and rear springs.

Basically the more information the better J

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Can anyone help with info, i was wanting to go up around 750-800Lbs per inch on the front and 180-200Lbs on the rear, the car is going to be set up for fast road use.

Thanks if you can help, i am open to suggestions on rates etc probably going to use Tokico Illuminas, I have already ordered slotcarracings T6 panhard and control arm set. intend to make strut brace and SFCs.

Brilliant web site !!!
