Repost - I had this up earlier but had second thoughts. I cleared it
w/ Randy and here it is again.
This is an OEM '89 alongside an ABS version of the DRM. Do a visual
count of the coils on the the long spring - I wrote 12, but there are
actually 13.
FWIW - I also have ABS and non-ABS versions of the Bias Spring
which I purchased from VB&P. They appear to be dimensionally
identical to each other and have the same specs as the DRM
sping in the image above.
From what I know about springs, characteristics are typically
determined by the dimensions. If my ABS and non-ABS springs
produced different readings on a spring tester - I would be surprised.

Those are the dimensions on the two springs that I have. Would still like to know the same data on the shorter OEM bias spring. I am going to put the DRM spring in the new master cylinder and see how it performs.
