Default it's all identical...

when I had my front/rear suspension repaired after a minor accident, they ordered and almost installed the wrong springs (sedan springs)... and that they had to reorder based on the spring color (there are color dots on the springs.)

Default The Ultras feel like they are 600 at most....

My Stasis 600/700 feel more stiff than the Ultras did. I also notice much less body roll. I wasn't impressed with the Ultras at all. They weren't harsh but the body roll and fact that they have to be run at 25" max height is enough reason for me not to recommend them to anyone.

Default thks for that, then I may have to rule out the H&R streets too...

I'm looking for final height of about 25.5-25.75.
I'm not sure where the streets range is, but I'm guessing it's too low for me, even at it's highest setting (does that make any sense?).. so I may have no choice but to get the $$$ Stasis.

Vortrag/Hyperco springs are 450/500 not 250/500.
