But anyway, please, enough of your sarcasm. This thread is not an advertisement, and as I mentioned, any data presented here is just that, data. How you wish to interpret that data is on you, not me.


I can continue to provide data for those who genuinely have interest in this sort of stuff, but if I keep getting these kind of comments from you, then what's the point of me doing this? I'm not getting paid to do this; I'm doing this in my free time because I personally have an interest in this and want to learn more also (as do a lot of people in the community). But I'm not going to continue to do this if all I get is crap from you, plain and simple.


"The conclusion from all of these tests? Not only are Swift Springs 50% lighter and extremely accurate (you ask for 10K, you get exactly 10K), they also help reduce coil-bind (i.e the coils hitting each other over large bumps). The Taiwan spring? Maybe after 6 months of driving, it will finally be 10K, then 6 months later, 9K!"


"All these tests" consisted of one test upon one spring. Your statement about weight is incorrect since 1.1kg is not "50% lighter" than 1.6kg. It has been pointed out that they are not "exactly" 10K. You even make an unsupported assumption about the other brand. This all reads as a sales pitch and not a very well informed one at that.
If you truly want to learn something then stop answering each reply that tells you how things really are with excuses and rationalization.
