[urq] [20v] Eibach Spring Install Question

[Todd Phenneger]

OK,
I think I've answered my own Question.   The CQ is different from the 4kq.
Its Progressive in the rear and Linear in the front just like  www.20v.org
says.   I got confused because apparently the 4kq is different.

If you are curious I also noticed that the rear spring is the same as on the
ur-q.
Specs are below.
