RE: active coils in compression spring?
the lower 5 or 6 coils on these springs on these moped rear shocks are already touching each other, so can't join in any reindeer games. They are not active. The other 6 or 7 coils are active. The upper most coil is pretty much not active, and much of it is ground off to create a flat surface too.
--------
The coil spacing on these springs varies considerably. As load is applied the closely spaced ones would touch and becom inactive.

Follow the link and scroll down there are formula for working the active coils out depending on the design of the spring ends.
