We do have other springs on the shelf, both new and old, but it's a matter of time and convenience. It was convenient to do the initial comparison as those springs were being changed/upgraded for a...

And I have repeatedly mentioned that I will be adding various other tests. Other brand springs, new and used etc. Or did you not actually read those parts? Were you too fixated on me "advertising"?

To be fair, his english wasn't very good, and he did try his best to simplify things for me (I don't speak Japanese btw). I'm sure the technician is well aware of the other parameters/factors.
