Title: Rear Spring Issue
Post by: Del on Saturday, 03 June 2017, 09:26 PM
Is there any difference in the rear springs on the different models - Reason I as is my springs are tapered at the bottom and I have a set that I bought and they are parallel

Cheers

Just checked my K5 and the bottom last coil is smaller than those above - otherwise parallel :smile2:
