Definitely progressive springs - not standard "straight" coilover springs. Not sure you'll find anything out there to substitute.

Try contacting Casten at KW and see if they can overnight you the right spring. I worked with him on some issues I had with my V3's on my TT and actually visited the plant here in CA. Not sure if he's still there though......

Thanks for everyone's help! KW is looking for an alternative spring that's in stock, fingers crossed! They seem like they have great customer support.

Since you seem to have no margin for error I'd suggest you get 2 springs. That way you don't end up last minute having 2 mismatched springs and outta time.

That's the plan, and you're right about zero margin! I've knocked out the list below over the last two weeks and dropped the car off this morning to have a roll cage installed. It's going to be incredible if this all works out.


-new IMS bearing
-New revised IMS cover
-New rear main seal
-New Elephant racing GT3 control arms
-new tie rods
-coilovers installed
-GT3 rear toe arms
-GT3 brake ducts
-new pads
-new belt
-small diameter underdrive pulley
-new sway bar
-new strut mounts
-oil change
-brake fluid flush
-alignment

The good news it's at least on he ground and running, even if it's way to low with its bad spring
