I agree completely, Jim.  Two points, though.  Would you have a custom
spring made for each wheel...since the weight on each wheel is
different...or would you get one weight spring and fine tune each wheel like
tha NASCAR guys by adjusting pre-load?  Either way, I think you're talking
about $800 for four new springs.
