Damned good stuff Scott.  Hopefully folks will listen and think it through.

My G20 was coilbinding with the 7" 275# springs in the front.  It's
*horrible* when they bind.  It's 100% as bad a ride as the damper
bottoming.  I was planning on buying some 8" springs or 10" springs at the
same rate.  I think it would have been sweet.  I couldn't raise the car any
higher since I was at the top of the collar *and* as Scott said, it
wouldn't have mattered if I could have raised the perch with the 7" spring
because my travel was already dictated by the travel to coilbind.
