This project started by acquiring a used KK strut for $20.
At first, I was thinking of just checking the structure or reusing the clevis.
However, the free length of the spring attached to it was 25mm shorter than that of the KJ.
The wire diameter is also thick.
The number of turns is also small.
That means the rate is high.
KK coil has short free length and high rate.
The set length is probably the same as KJ.
The 1G length is probably the same as KJ.
When I roughly estimated the set load for KK, it was 770N lower than KJ.
Set load is easier to feel than rate and has a greater effect on ride comfort.
Maybe I can get about 2.5 inches of lift without increasing the set load as much as the OME927, and without increasing the strut length as much as the top spacer.
