Spring Rate Conversion Chart - Easily Convert KG/mm to LBS/in

Many of our customers are looking to buy coilovers or lowering springs for their car. Half of the manufacturers show their spring rates as kg/mm while others show them as lbs/in. It's easy to forget what the conversion is so we put together a quick and easy chart to use for reference.

We also offer Swift Springs and Eibach replacement coilover springs so you can upgrade your spring rate or fine tune your ride quality with your existing aftermarket coilovers on your car or truck. These are available in various sizes and spring rates.
