I have done exactly what you are trying to do when in desprate times to get equipment up and running but the overall results where as I listed above. I have tried it and found that no matter how hard you work at it two springs stacked on top of each other simply dont preform as well as a single spring that is design for your application. I wish you the best with your project and hope you keep us informed as to how it works for you.
What i hear is like a crying baby. the reason for your failure is you're an odd modder. what i want to hear are given data. lenght of auxillary spring, how it performs on jumps, corners, humps, rocky areas, how exactly it fails for you, or perhaps you didn't get the right set up for you. far better to hear or discuss how to make it work for you but you're different and VERY COMMON. SO THAT'S ENOUGH. SINCE I DON'T GET ANY APPRECIATION FROM ANYBODY AT ALL, I'M SHUTTING DOWN THIS THREAD. NOBODY GETS REACTION FROM ME AGAIN. SO I HOPE EVERYBODY IS HAPPY NOW. WISH YOU ALL THE BEST! I SUGGEST YOU START BUYING SHOOTPAINTS SHOCKS ABSORBER WHEN IT GOES OUT IN THE MARKET. OH BABY, HOW"S THAT?
Remember how I said proline makes them for monster trucks? So how many monster trucks do you see with them on there at the race track... NONE. Proline makes some of the best products there are and have great recources for racing and development but they didn't get your system to work on a race track. Yes, those were for monster trucks but still its not a new idea and if top manufactures or other aftermarket companies don't have them yet then it means they give you no advantage over the stock configuration and the two springs only make things more complicated.
Of course its still worth a try, however, I don't think someone who has aluminum arms on a "race" buggy would have a right to call someone an idiot because they couldn't get that two spring design to work.
