Lewis,
I recently installed the 450 lb springs. There are 650 lb springs available,
which I assume would be just strictly for race Tigers. The 450's are stiff
enough, but I don't drive my Tiger that much so the stiffness hasn't bothered
me yet. I did purchase a set of new CAT springs from eBay and put them on a
shelf in my garage just in case I felt the 450's were to stiff down the road.
The CAT springs are out of production for many years. I was told by some
people on the List that the CAT springs, while they ride more comfortably, may
experience some nose dive under hard braking. I cannot verify that experience.
Also, I think Rob Guerra of Flying Tiger Enterprises in Northern California
was developing a 550 lb coil spring. Something in between the 450 and 650
offered by Dale A. I do not know the status of these springs, but his email
address is _tiger351w@comcast.net_ (mailto:tiger351w@comcast.net) .
