In my early researchs about the elastomers supliers I found this info, not sure where it was(I bellieve from K2 december 2001)

Please note that we have two grades of stiffness. 13943-2 is for front use only, or if you are 80 pounds or less. 13943-2H is for rear use and is fits most riders.

Also read somewhere that it was better to use elastomers on the rear instead of a cor spring.

Hope to help.
