Just checked the Realm. Rear spring rate is 357.2 pounds per inch so I was close. However my calculations show this spring to be over 500 pounds per inch. Free length might be closer to 12" so I'm waiting to hear back from them.

 

Can you measure the thickness of the wire and the distance across from outside to outside?

 

This may be a lowering spring which is also stiffer.

Looks like 1/2" thick but parallax on the width... maybe 5 3/4"???

Height does not matter but number of active coils does... looks like 6

 

(spring constant of steel) 11,250,000 x (wire thickness to the forth) / over 8 x (number of coils) x (coil diameter to the third)

 

11,250,000 X .0625 / 8 x 6 x 144.703

 

703,125 / 6945.75 = 101.23 pounds per inch

 

 

Something wrong here.

 

The 510 rear coils are only about 4 1/2" across yours are almost 6". The rear coils need a constant of around 350- 400 pounds per inch. 101 is way too light.

Oh OK good to know. Cruz when I got my 510 the guy gave extra parts for it so I figured those were 510 rear springs.
