Another tid bit, and another reason one should make efforts to verify what you read in catalogs.

At the time I was using that spring PAC listed it with 1.100" coil bind distance, but in discussion with their tech rep he said it was actually 1.070".

It was in this conversation he told me they wanted that distance to coil bind I mentioned above.

Edit: I went back to look at my records to see what they measured new with their retainers in place at the actual verified installed height. Sorry, I cannot find the results as it was about 15 years ago.
