Fair enough. Thank you.

It was softer than I expected. Its flat now and the corners light stoned.


On Jack's First there are both flat struts (Stirrups) and round ones. Presumably the flat versions are were made later for cost savings?

He also has a photo of factory springs. Some are in the white and others in the black. The top shiny one is 26 coils by my count, and the blued one at the bottom is 27 + coils. Its free length seems to be a fraction longer than the one I removed.
