Are coil springs manufactured specifically for the lowrider market or are they borrowed from some other industry?

Here is what I read recently on LIL, a Lowrider shop requested coils to be made at a certain amount of turns and length and thickness and spacing between the turns. These where then did produced and sold to Lowriders.

A phone call or PM to BMH may produce a better reply than I can,

Sounds like it might be a trade secret.

I figured a select few companies are having them made then distributing to others.

Greetings 505transplant,

How's the feel of the front and rear suspensions when riding? Or are you into getting inches?
