I have thousands of springs on the shelf, albeit all Swift, so not sure if that would provide a fair set of data or not though. I'm limited with regards to "new" springs from other brands, but for the used ones that we do get in, I have no problem putting them on the tester
With regards to parameters, besides spring rate, probably consistency/sag over a period of time (that's where testing used springs comes in useful) e.g What length is your 180mm spring after say 6 months of consistent use
If aesthetics is included, then the type/quality of the paint I guess.
