Yes some have arrived today, along with cobalt rears and silver fronts. I trust the rear rates, they make sense to me.
The rating of the kyo front silver doesn't. If it was (3.30), then why haven't people running Associated green(3.5) or black(3.2) front on their B4 or C4 cars more often? People generally run the AE silver (3.85) or blue (4.2) on their cars, and it's a given that they are the sort of rates people use on uk style tracks. The top guys started to replace their springs, and I've seen lots of setup sheets and drivers using the kyo silvers. I've been told they are a similar rate to AE silvers, but the charts that are in circulation put them at 3.3? I'm throwing it in there that the person creating a chart measured or has a rating for the other kyosho silver spring of the RB-5 (which are known to be short and soft), and it's gone in the charts as 3.3, when the spring people are using on the C4/B4 cars is the ZX-5, which is possibly a different rate. I've found no conclusive evidence to say exactly what they are.
Mine that arrived this morning have gone on the front now, and they don't feel light, but feel similar to the AE silvers, with the advantages of no contact with the shock body, and not running the collars at the end of the shock. I'll test on the track Sunday.
