Good point. Going to the larger damper AND increasing the spring tension
on the dampers should improve things quite a bit. However, if you just
can't get enough tension from the old springs, you might want to experiment
with replacing a couple of them with new, heavy-duty springs and see if
helps. Interesting problem. huh?
