K Sport Kontrol Pro Coilover Groupbuy
#47
Ok, I've gotten some responses and messages like: Once you get eight or nine guys let me know I'll send payment. In order for you to have a spot on this GB you need to send payment. The more payments we get earlier the more it will encourage others to jump in on the GB. If the GB does not go through I will refund you 100%. I'm certain it will go through so send payment with confidence to encourage others please. I cannot take verbal/written orders. The only confirmed orders are paid orders. Thanks.

excelerate, does the set you sell come with pillowball/top mounts (or are they even required for a tls)? and how much would you guys say is the average install price for coilovers?

So if you have 2 springs having different spring rates (one with 320 g/mm and the other with 450 g/mm), the 1st spring will compress 1 mm if you put a load of 345 grams, while the 2nd one will need a 480 gram load to compress 1 mm. Therefore, the 2nd spring is harder (stiffer) than the 1st one.
Here is another thought. the spring rate on the 2nd gen TL is 7 F/ 4 R but the 3rd gen TL is 12 F/ 6 R yet the TEIN's are not too firm. These are not soft springs but they are not ridiculously firm.
