    Can anyone recommend a good straight rear spring to go with the SA's?
    I would like to use the R.E perches and the beehive springs don't agree with them. The kit came with the 500's in the rear FWIW.

      I would recommend a 6" tall 600lb, 625lb, 650lb eibach ERS linear spring which would be 2.5" or if you need 60mm, a metric version from Eibach or swift/hyperco/H&R which might be like 150mm (6") to 160mm (6.3") at a rate like 11kg (616lb) or 110N/mm (628lb - what I run on my car aka stock ohlins) in swift 60mm.

        Hyperco and Eibach are also good options.

          I am running 7" 650lb/in Eibach extended travel 2.5". IIRC at stock height you need a 7" spring to avoid coilbind.

The way the TCK's come valved they can't really handle anything past the 600/700, I ended up getting them rebuilt and revalved twice to run higher rates which didn't end up working great. They can't blow off high speed compression well (eating curbs) and adding spring rate exasperated the shortcoming.
            Glad I didn't go that route then. Although TC Kline himself did not endorse the idea which made me consider other options.
