Since when has Ground Control ever used anything but a single perch?

I've no idea what a "1k SK2" spring is, but they will work as long as they have a 2.5" inner diameter, flat ends intended to work with coilover perches, and a similar free length to the current springs on the car.

It kind of helps when you provide some pertinent background information such as, oh, I don't know, the year and model of car and perhaps the shocks being used, the current spring rates, and the intended goals . . .
