You're right, George is wrong. Nothing new there.
Going from a softer spring rate to there higher rate of compression as its compressed? For me I nvr bothered to try them because I always was under the assumption that they where both linear spring rates and that there shouldnt be any difference between the two.
Correct again, Wild Cherry is just spewing nonsense. As usual.
Actually, that's not true. The fact the spring is hitting the side of the shock is precisely the problem, not because it was hitting, but because it is deflecting off to one side.
Given all the above though. I am going to go ahead and try them myself.
The reason users are having problems is the rates on the Losi springs aren't the same as the AE springs. A AE green rear is a 1.9, a yellow TLR 22 spring is rated at a 2.0, and when I rated them, the TLR was
substantially softer than the AE. YMMV.
George is going to say something personal and inflamitory in response to what I posted. He won't have any data to back up what he says, but that's standard. His response is always:
Got it from a Ae factory team driver ...
And my response is either you were lied to or he is wrong, because your answer is lacking in depth and truth. But we've been here before...
