[s-cars] RE: H&R help

[Bob Rossato]

Again, I profess no real knowledge of the Urq suspension.  My familiarity is
like yours, that typically the front spring diameters are much larger due to
the McPhearson strut design.  With regard to the Urq, the only thing I knew
was that the rear control arms are the same as the fronts, except swapped
around.  Don't know if that concept was continued with the rest of the
suspension, i.e. springs.  I wouldn't have thought so but given that the
original post stated he checked to make sure he had the right springs up
front 3 times, they must be more similar than we think.  Again, it's just a
wild ass guess on my part.
