Guys, thank you! This has been very informative.
I thought for sure the 4-door springs would be heavier or stiffer than some of the popular aftermarket coils. It helps me to hear they're not.
The background - I'm running around in a primarily street driven lightweight 2-door. Came across some 18/59's locally for a price I couldn't pass up. I like to tinker, so I figured I'd toss them in to see what they were like... but was concerned about being over-sprung for the weight of my JK. If I heard that they were REALLY stiff compared to whats offered aftermarket, I'd probably bypass installing them altogether.
I've got a 14/15-55 combo under my JK now. Definitely has some dive, squat, and sway on the road. I'm always after better ride and bump handling... so I'm looking forward to trying these JKU springs out.
