I am doing an engineering school project to analyze the suspension on my car. Can anyone help me find specs for the specific springs and shock absorbers that are in the front and rear suspension? Specifically, I am looking for the spring constant, or stiffness, of the springs and the damping coefficient of the shock absorbers. I would really appreciate it!

Chelsea, I won't have that type of information. It isn't provided in repair manuals. What I suggest is to get your owner's manual out and find the district rep in your area. Ask if he or she can get that info for you.
