Took the manual's Low/Standard Frequency spring options; little bit of cut & pasting...

(*) represents stock springs

So, I have a very Rookie question...... higher spring rate is stiffer??

Yes.
To be more precise, Tekno's springs are rated lb/in... how much force is required to compress the spring by one inch.

You know, what I did notice, is that you have to move the shock collars down at least 8mm per shock to take up the slack before they touch the springs. Why is that??
Is it like that on the older versions?? Buggies?? Truggies??

The only Tekno platform, that I know of, that had spring/droop issue was the ET410. Not really an issue per se. Everyone says... "Just run it. It was designed that way." At full droop, springs may come out of/off the perches as well.

Thankfully I use a softer setup and higher ride height

I actually grabbed a set of longer, softer springs of an 1/8th scale buggy. I hadta trim a loop of the rears to get it to not ride high in the tail but it rides nice.
