Ok, thats cool it bounces correctly now
Yeah, I kinda got the feel that the companies are trying to make a sale, but I remember reading it somewhere else too. It's good to know that shaving the springs helps out. I will definitely keep it in mind as it saves $$$. I checked out Newman's stuff...holy faq, they are $$$!
