Exactly, they should never touch unless it was designed to be a dead coil. Which makes be believe it was a design flaw or a defect. The springs are on their way back to Corksport right now. This is all documented so I’ll compare everything when the new ones get here.I agree with the extra stress by the spacers but it should not alter movement where the coils would touch each other. Even if you bottom out and ride on the bump stop, the coils should not touch. Either design flaw or manufacturing defect
