Mikkel,
I hope you still have your old springs.
Measure the diameter of the front spring wire on old and new springs
with a dial caliper. The thickness of the wire enters the equation of
spring stiffness as d^4, so even a small change will greatly affect
stiffness. Also count the number of coils of both springs.
Spring steel is spring steel, the material properties don't really
change from spring to spring.
Compare the rear springs too. Here it is also the thickness of the
material, but also the length of each leaf is very important for the stiffness.
