Korean 80g springs = same spring in a MX Clear?

Forgive the multiple threads.

Thread title says it all. Are these basically the same? If so can someone enlighten me why the korean ones would be better?

As far as I have seen, they measure on the bottom out force, not the actuation force so I would guess that 80g is still lighter. Stock clear springs have a bottom out closer to 100g. I would guess these would be about the same as green/white.

pretty sure green and white both have actuation forces of 80 cN, but bottom out forces are a bit higher. Clears have 55 cN actuation and 100g bottom out force

LOL. Yes you're right. though clears are 65 actuation not 55. I wish they would use the same ****ing measuring as Cherry. Damn confusing Koreans! So it would be like stock black springs then.

Ok thanks that clears it up. I'll be sticking to stock springs.
