Do 9" springs (in the 500-600 lb/in range) fit on Koni 3012's when running w/ t-bars, or are they too long?

Jim,
I think they are too long also, I have 2.25's in 8's and 9's if you want to experiment.
I use 6's on the Bilsteins and Motons.
2.25/8

2.25/9

I have 8s on my bilsteins now, and there is almost enough (but not quite) adjustment to use 9s.
The issue/question with the 3012s - Im not sure that the upper perch fits past the torsion bar carrier swing arm.
The bilsteins have the offset mounts which allow clearance, the 3012s do not. So I think the upper perch has to sit below that swing arm - can anyone confirm this?
Richard - I have 9" 500s on the shelf, which is why I am hoping the 9" may work. Otherwise I need to pick up some 8s. Doesnt look like you have 500 or 550 8s.
