I've been working with Arno Petite who will be revising his spring calculations for the original Yok springs based on the maths I've done on these new ones, and putting out a new table. I'll check with him to see when it will be out.

I must say the new springs are very good, brown tempered wire colour, and a shorter length. Had my first run tonight at York indoor carpet/polished gym floor and they were awesome. Went purple front, orange rear as per Shin's advice and the car was great. Ran the new 1.8mm roll bar, then moved up to the 2.0mm and the car was better again. Still running the saddles/heavy car. I'll try get to RHR in the week for astro practice to get them dialled. So far so good anyway.

The new springs are a very different in terms of wire thickness and number of active coils, compared to the older Yok and AE springs. It's not just spring "rate".
