Adrian, what they sometimes do here (the states) is called re-arching the springs and is a process best handled by a facility expert in such activities. I'm wondering if you couldn't find an aftermarket supplier and get a shorter (stiffer) unit to replace your originals. You are really going to have to "think outside the box" for this upgrade though.

On another note, being south of Germany, you don't have a pronounced "drawl" in your speech do you? Here in the US, folks from southern climes often speak a bit (i.e. Larry the Cable Guy and George W.). LOL,LOL

IT'S A JOKE PEOPLE!!!
