I still love it - feels right. I held onto a spare just in case, but it seems to be just fine. Want it?

Yes that would be great .....was it the best fitting one you were able to find?

Honestly, I just went with the one the guys at rennlist found. Looks like they did a lot of digging, I just did the ol' copy and paste. 3 1/2 inches instead of 4 if I remember right - you'd never know driving it.
PM your address if you want it, and no worries if you want to take some time and try to find a different one. I think that thread (linked somewhere in this one) had a few other options, but those that tried a few of them preferred this one.

Anyone have a McMaster spring left over from the six pack that they wouldn't mind parting with?

After the commute to and from work I'm hooked on the McMaster Carr spring.

if you could provide a part number and source this would be very useful.

But you got that from a dubious source(me)?
"Based on the info above :-
The stock spring is 75lbs/inch and about 4" long
The McMaster Carr spring # 9657k142 is 39lbs/inch but only 3-1/2" long.
The deficiency in length is a problem?
If so, check McMaster Carr #9657K136.
This is slightly larger diameter(1.25" vs 1")
It is 57 lbs vs 39 (or 75lbs.for OEM)
Fully compressed it is longer than the short spring 2.81" vs 2.31" Is that 1/2" a problem?
You can buy just one spring in # 9657k136
or this?
