Powell said its going to retain the same characteristics of v1, but just be lower...so fingers crossed.. plus im on 16's so i need a little help from a drop

 

that's his overall goal with them. i wish him luck and hope he achieves it because it seems like everyone wants the amazing handling & ride quality but want to be really low because all the cool kids are doing it.

 

Lil update.... I have put a lil over 5000 miles on these springs now and all I can say is pure awesomeness!! If anyone is thinking about getting them you wont regret it when you do. Rides smooth as stock and the stance is perfect.

 

Just wondering if they have settled at all. Did you measure the height after the install? And what are they now?

 

just a heads up.. the original YYZ (v1) will no longer be available; as the v2 will take its place
so buy it quick while its still around

 

the only thing im worried about with these springs are the 'dead' coils.. how they are purposely bunched up..those are going to rub and scratch up then rust just like the other ones

 

Coils should NEVER rub anything or each other. Rubbing together is coil binding. This is from either a bad design or the wrong spring application. A third possibility could be bump stops cut off too much or missing altogether.

 

This is incorrect. Wait for Powell to chime in for specific reasoning, he said himself that he need to have a few dead coils to get the right spring rates I believe.

 

So you're saying that when you hit a good bump that the coils are supposed to slam together with a nice loud "clunk"? I would hope not. I don't think anyone would design a spring to coil bind on purpose. That just doesn't make sense.
My original Pedders did that. A loud clunk in the rear from every medium or larger bump. Very irritating noise. I know have the redesigned Pedders in the rear. Quiet as can be and no coil binding.

 

Coil bind doesnt vary based upon small spring travel. If you look at a loaded YYZ spring, the coils sit on top of each other, so maybe I guess if you went airborne for a few seconds they could expand and slam back together, but otherwise they are already sitting on each other.
