Re: spring size
How thick is the coil wire diameter?
Depending on the spring rate they could be anything.

Re: spring size
there about 15mm to 20mm from guessing cant find my tape and there yellow if that helps
Re: spring size
Given that a wire size difference of 1mm makes a large difference in spring rate and consequenly spring static height, the easiest way of working out how much lift you will get would be by undoing the shockers, measuring normal height, replace all the springs, and remeasure to see what you come up with. All up about an hours work between beers.
We could sit here all afternoon and postulate, and still be wrong. The wire is usually deformed around the die so it is not even a reliable measurement to begin with on a premade spring.
