So does this mean they don't squat like so many others do (especially from a stop)? If so, that's yet another reason for me to order the v.2 from you.

bars are 250 or 285. shipping is what it is. I cant help where folks live.

Springs run 360 shipped out of Illinois.

way more than the springs you have.

the change in rear squat surprised me at first. for the use I put the cars through, I wasn't really focused on launches.

65 to ship is out of this world. I've shipped more for less.

Secondly, I am completely happy with my springs, I've ridden in 2 cars with YYZ and I didn't like the drop, however the ride is completely comparative to mine.

I probably will not even have mine for about 2 weeks, so i will post pics of my b&g rears with h&r sport fronts.
Total drop would be 1.6"f/2.0r drop

we ship through Crate engine depot, so far no one has complained about CED shipping costs.
If you weigh springs, you will no doubt find that YYZ weigh more than say Pedders. Thats due partly to the type of steel used to make the springs, and the wire diameter.

Canada has nothing to do with the shipping cost. The springs are made in the USA,shipped from the USA for our USA Customers, and are the only progressive rate springs in the aftermarket I know of.

so. probably best not to comment on shipping if you dont have the facts.
as far as ride is concerned, good that you are happy with your springs. In fact based on our data, every lowering spring we have rated (and I have the spreadsheets), are linear rate springs which are softer in rate and shorter in free length than the stock TC spring. The YYZ spring is softer than stock TC at ride height, rising to a rate that far exceeds any other spring on the market. The rear TC stock spring is a progressive rate spring. The front is linear.
When a soft short lowering spring reaches full coil bind under load, the spring becomes solid.

shocks wont help much I suspect thats a characteristic of springs that collapse in bind.
