Alex & Brian-
Not an answer, but another question. The uGLi has tokico HPs and 
progressive Sus. Techniques springs (silver=sportline?). before I put 
the springs in the car sat with the nose higher than the ass. Now, After 
the springs, its the same difference in front/back (wheelie), but around 
1- 1.5" lower?

is this the Tokico's or something else?

Can i cut the progressive springs?

Brian- why aren't yours progressive? older models?

The springs I took out (stock) were NOT progressive (wound equally all 
the way, top to bottom).

supprisingly, the car rides better with the aftermarket springs in it. 
It has a 'comfort' -like zone. It's just what Im looking for now that I 
don't have to have the biggest/stiffest/fastest whatever on the car.

I'm leaving my racing to Karts now- its the closest you can come to F1 
without knocking over a bank!
