Half Drop and Spring suspension mod [PIC]

Hey all, my first mod. Removed the stabalizer bar and added spring shocks, but half spring size to lower the front end. It now handles small bums like they were nothing and the cornering ability is greatly improved!

Springs were out of a thin pen, I looked at around 20+ pens and found one only slightly drawn to the magnet, hardly is. Cut them to half shaft and it drives insanely well. The paint is stock on my Clone Mazda RX-7 from Walgreens :)

howd you find such tiny springs in a pen? usually theyre a bit bigger than the steering knuckles.I use springs from an old tape player.

I opened about 20+ pens til I found a small enough spring that was not as magnet loved as possible. :)
