Default help with coil diameters

Hey all,

If you guys have the time, I need a favor.

These are the rear spring specs for early AP1's
MY00-01 = 291
MY02-03 = 230

Can people with 00-01 and 02-03 measure the REAR coil diameter.
Not the spring diameter, but the diameter of the individual coils.

I have some springs, but I don't know the year they are from.
Having the specs from people who know what they have could help me determine my spring's rate by comparing these coil diameters.

Thank for your help.

Easiest way to distinguish the springs is the color code (3 painted dots on coils). You'll find both the color codes and coil diameters here - including a debunking of the myth that the '02-'03 rears are 230lbs:
