Does anyone has a source showing the OEM Toyota spring rate is F3.0k and R3.3K? I could not find anything except the Wingsofwar's thread or the thread that refer to his thread.



Huh?? Your quotes say NOTHING about the FRS spring rates relative to the Euro or UK GT86, they just prove the Euro and UK versions of the GT86 are identical. I was never claiming otherwise.
