Message: [QUOTE="Simon Fuller, post: 88946, member: 23284"] [b]Any one tried this?[/b] Free sounds great, I've been moaning about the markup NZ dealers have been putting on springs and delaying fitting stiffer springs to my 98 220. I figure I should look at .40 as I'm 85kgs, plus riding gear. But, what are the downsides of this mod? Is this a case of "if it sounds too good to be true it usually is"? Has anyone else out there done this and what was the result? Sorry David I don't mean to doubt you. I've heard that shortening the springs will indeed stiffen them but before I go hacking into my springs I was wondering why anyone would go and purchase new springs when this sounds so easy - there must be a downside surely. I s'pose at the end of the day if I try it and it doesn't work out OK, I was going to buy new springs anyway! [/QUOTE]
