Second this for sure. If its not 100% vrod compatible straight out of the box then I wouldnt list them as vrod coils unless you put a very obvious caveat explaining the spreading and maybe even offer an option to have you do it and make the ones you havent spread yet slightly cheaper?
I also noticed on your site on the vrod coil listings it says they are 17mm tall and there is no mention of spreading as of now. IIRC the specs from NV were 15-17mm so if spreading is needed they probably arent 17mm tall right? All 4 of mine are ~15.5mm tall and fit perfectly tight in the vrod.
I know 1/16" isn't much but if something is marketed as for the vrod, then the consumer really shouldnt have to do any work to make it work properly. Again my opinion and we all know what opinions are like right? everyones got one and they usually stink.
Edit: also wanted to mention - 99% sure I remember NV coming in here after the auber switch and saying the auber coils would be vrod compatible so now you are competing directly with NV who carries dnail XLR pinout vrod compatible coils that take no manipulation to be perfect.

If I had a vote, if you’re selling them specifically for use with the VRod, I’d say spread ‘em.
Otherwise, do you have a recommended way of getting it perfect? I’ve never had to adjust a coil, and while I have some ideas about how to do it right I don’t want to tell people to do something that I’m not sure about.
