This is important for people to know when trying to put zsp springs in non zsp as they will not get an even drop unless they use the right springs. A lot of people on the forum seem ignorant to this....
How would you decide what spring code works for Xi Drive vehicles? Also is the Xi drivetrain sprung or unsprung weight? I would assume sprung weight?
