Well why on the catalogs says beehive kelford springs (for cars running up to 2 bar) 2 bar is around 29psi. Does this mean i run lets say 32psi over stock rpm 7600rpm will result in problems??? all this on a 2.0L stock internal evo.. just got my Kelford 272 and im looking for the best option for the price and performance output on springs or if i have to get spring and retainer???
