Lotus 7 Springs again

[mr.vman]

Working on my Lotus S4 7. Noticed the nose in the air, engine, transmission and body on/in. Spax shocks, removed springs; 12 inches long free, did online calculator; 118lbs. per inch rate. Is this the correct spring for the car? Too me, appear too stiff and too long? I think for fast road on an S3 7, 150lbs. per inch, 10 inch free length? With the present springs installed, when I jump on the front cross member, car does not move. Shocks have about 6 inches (top to bottom) spring space, at where the ride height should be. Looking for nice ride, no racing. Getting S4 7 information has become almost impossible. Anyone else have an S4 that I can network with? Thank you in advance.
