so DDM's and GC's are 500lbs and 700lbs etc in/ibs - not ft/ibs - so i need to multiply 672 and 1008 by 12 to put into inches??
so 672*12 = 8064??
and 1008*12 = 12096??
that so can't be right
help before i go mad and ordeer the wrong shit people!!

Their units are completely wrong; there is nothing you can convert that will make them right. They are either really stiff springs or they are pulling the numbers out of their ass.
The only two 'units' of measurement used when talking about springs are: kg/mm or lbs/in ... meaning how much weight is needed to compress a spring some amount. 500 lbs/in means it takes 500 lbs directly on the spring to make it compress an inch. Saying ft/lb ... doesn't make sense. And if they meant to say lbs/ft, that means it's a damn soft spring ... softer than stock actually.

i have asked selelr but they have said this is all the supplier states so have asked them to go back to the supplier and question the figures.
cheers for help so far guys.
