    I actually had a little trouble with the passenger side spring( I had been noticing it) but when I put the Convo's back on it was real bad "sagging", so today I took the "Ward Frahler Chicago" car, robbed the front springs from it. I did not cut as much of the spring off this time:rolleyes: When I cut the other ones I noticed my 60' foot time slowed down, due to body travel limitations, (weight transfer), so it is sitting a little higher now, but I am figuring it will help get my 60's down and my front end up:D
