I'll be looking for a non-standard-spec pair of coils in the next few months, 
and need ideas on who might have in stock what I need (I've heard some formula 
cars use Spitfire-size springs).

Also, please correct me if I'm wrong:
- a 2" reduction of free length will result in a 2" drop in ground clearance, 
and
- reduction of front weight by 40% would require a spring with 40% lower rate 
for "same as stock" performance.
