The home depot spring has a very very low spring rate and barely does anything

Been running no-spring for a couple days now, not worth it. Same as Kenny said. My McMaster Carr spring (recommended in the Rennlist thread) should get here tomorrow, hopefully it's a good middle ground.

+1. Was the bee's knees with no spring, but car computer was confused and had strange rpm fluctuations and loss of power while driving. A weaker spring is a good compromise.

The link doesn't really work - it's just a massive catalog page, it highlights your choice, but the "link" doesn't find the product.
So, McMaster.com, search for 9657k142. You have to buy at least six, it was 19.76 after shipping. OR.....
You can PM me and I can ship you one, $2 plus actual shipping, pay via paypal. I'll have 4 to get rid of, gonna keep 1 as a backup.
Mine should be here tonight, and I should have some driving impressions by tomorrow night.
