I think it's the same snowman before he got roasted. Kill them then burn all the evidence.

That statement is correct, as far as Spring Rate, but you may have taken it out of context in relation to how the Spring Load curve affects AFM flap operation. Spring Load is a factor of Spring Rate + Spring Pre-load + Spring Compression Height. Spring pre-load doesn't affect Spring Rate...but it does increase total spring resistance or Spring Load at a given point. Take a typical coil spring that is rated at 100 lbs/in and throw it spring a spring tester. At 0" compression height there is zero resistance ( no load condition ). At 1" of compression you should have 100 lbs of resistance. At 2" compressed height you should have 200 lbs of resistance. At 3" compression you would have 300 lbs resistance...and so on. Now add 1" of pre-load to the spring. Reset the spring height pointer to zero. At 0" indicated compression height you would have 100 lbs of resistance. At 1" compression height you would have 200 lbs of resistance. At 2" compression height you would have 300 lbs of resistance.... and so on. So increasing spring pre-load on your AFM spiral spring is going to change spring resistance or Load in a linear curve, throughout the entire sweep range.

We are all in the same boat. I'll have mine on a motor later this iceage I mean spring.

And they drove happily ever after. --- The End --
