    The lighter the springs, the quicker they advance. It will take a bit of experimenting to get what you want. Hown they work is up to you. Experiment with it until it is how you like it.

    I found that the weights that come with the kit are NFG. I kept the stock ones and used them instead, they didn't come back all the way with the lightest springs tho. I ended up using the medium ones, they gave me a total advane of 35 Deg @ 2800
    I've got the itch to lay some rubber down!!! ~Thanks grampa! its been 10 years worth of work, I just wish you could see it~

    you cant go by the fell of the rotor, like danny said put them in and then check it with a light untill you get what you wont.
