Or the stopwatch.

What got me thinking about this is that the RS-R rates seem more appropriate to balancing the front to rear frequency properly than the HKS street rates, for example. The RS-R will probably be in the suggested .9:1 range (I calculated 1:1 with my preliminary estimates) but the HKS will be in the range of 1.34:1 which can cause some uncomfortable pitch oscillations over bumps. Their numbers actually look like they would be better reversed. A little bit confusing.
