Sure I sell mine,

so after installing mine. The spring is not stiffer.
It’s definitely stiffer vs Si’s. The Spring they used is different. You can even pull both of them to compare if you wanted

Okay. We’ll never know than since Honda never released any documented evidence but sure it’s stiffer.

It's true lol take a look at em lol since you got it there.
So I had some free time. I rechecked. It’s the same spring. Same thickness and same amount of coils. What people aren’t thinking about is the extra leverage you get with the si shifter. Since the type r is shorter, there’s less leverage. It’s like comparing a breaker bar to a 3/8ths ratchet.
