I am also the consultant, director, and driver of their Time Attack cars and race cars (we also build the cars engines).

I asked him in a text message today if the 370Z ER series coilovers EVER came with the 12K front and the 10K rear spring rates as the default (off the shelf).
He replied.......
"No, we did sell many 12/10's ER's (ever since you suggested it), but that is not how they came and has never been the default spring rates. The 350Z, G35, 370Z, G37 have always had the 10K 8K spring rates as the default for the BR's as well as the ER's"
Thanks for the follow up Scott, I had a feeling you were in pretty tight with Pete. I think I just had some old or mis-information from when the ER prototype came out for the 370Z. One of the prototypes was test fitted on Mike Bonnani's car, and at the time he was told the ER would be shipping with 12K/10K springs. But .. that was before it went into production. The UK website lists the spring rates as 10K/8K like you said.

As always, appreciate your support developing for this car as well as the diligence to the forums.
