I have used spring compressors more times than I can remember over the years, but this was 25-30 years ago. Spring compressors were precision tools back then. These days, you do have to be cautious. Many of the tools available through "discount/affordable" retail channels are substandard designed. The problem with a "Noobie" these days, is that you can get sucked into buying substandard tools, and having accidents as a result. I am not saying the tools break, but in this example, a poorly designed spring compressor may not hold the spring coils securely (due to misalignment, or not-square, or whatever,) and when the "noob" least expects it, the coils slip and the apparatus lets go.

If your lucky, it is only a busted nose.

Around the track these springs and TC struts on a TVS car are faster than a Koni Challenege car.

In your SS/SC are you also using the Spherical Control Arm Bushings and Steering Rack Spacers?

jimbo how are ya man? Pedders #1, T3= **** except for Bryan 06 black but he is one of a kind. The more I drive the car, the more I track the car, the springs and TC shocks are simply the best. with an OTTP hardcore bar, cabs,R100 slicks, the car is bad ass fast and perfectly streetable. I need a driver mod the car is that good.

Jimbo get a grip bro'. the frickin TVS car has a milyun horsiepower more and an old useless tired slow driver. Put a shoe in the car, and it would run down GS Bimmers in Koni. Thats not the point.

The point is Pedders really got the spring and # right, lower trim height than a TC stock spring, not much more than a TC spring in rate, but a different (better) rising rate curve. The T3 spring is made for a car to suit silly SCCA rules where you cant bolt on an OTTP hardcore bar, so need to overspring the car at the back to make it rotate.

Now understand I doubted maven when he said pedders. I called Pedders for spring rates,they said proprietary information. I said STFU and rated with my spring rate checker EVERY FRICKIN SPRING that fits a stock balt/strut. So I HAVE THE SECRET PEDDERS PROPRIETARY information.

it dont matter. fact is they are the best for most of what we need to do . Except 06 Black, but there is just ONE of him.

Thanks Maven. Jimbo, dial up Josh or Sean and buy the damn springs.... get the TC struts and shocks as well and be happy Gee i am grumpy today. Must be the 20 steering column changes I did yesterday.
