Thanks all. Jonathan, do you know if Joe has a spring rate tester? Sev, thanks for the advice, I prefer not to cut springs as every time you cut you increase the effective spring rate so it wouldn't be a perfect solution. It would certainly get me close, but I don't want to go through all that trouble again without knowing exactly what spring rate I'll end up with. With custom springs, at least I'll be able to guess and get close.
