Can you explain Why the T0 with normal spring cost xxxx$ and if i want to get stiffer spring the increase in prize is that big?
I mean... If get stiffer spring you don't have to use the normal one, so I should pay the difference between it.
This question is because T0 stock are on almost same price of b14 and b8 combo, but with softer spring, instead if you try to get the same stiffness of b8combo you have to spend much mor |
To be honest I can't full answer the first question because I need to get my hands on the B8 and look at the shock dyno. In one way it would be "easier" and simpler than a coilover but the reality is that difference isn't huge. Another difference is monotube Bilstein vs. twintube Tarmac 0, each of which has their advantages.
For question 2 a quick answer...we get the T0 with the standard rates from KW and if a customer wants stiffer we have to purchase new springs, reassemble, and then the old springs go on our shelf. We've already got a shelf full of our standard rates. We wish we could make it easier but that's the way it works unfortunately. Many shops do the same, if they even have an option.
EDIT: And like Calum said, this is FT86 Speedfactory's thread!
