...because I was looking for it...
... my wife didn't [notice]...
This is telling.
The only reason I mentioned it was than brianj5600, a few pages back, said his rig rode better after changing to matched savvy springs and like normal, everyone dismissed him as an idiot because "spring rate has no effect on ride quality". I offered a possible explanation that maybe, just maybe Savvy springs do actually ride better than a cheap mismatched set of random springs because the engineers that selected the spring rate knew what the fuck they were doing.
It is difficult to switch springs and not also change the ride height. It also quite difficult to see changes in ride height without measuring. How much of a ride height change is there when you fill the gas tank up?
Let's say the ride doesn't change. How much difference in rate is required before your wife who isn't looking for changes notices a difference?
