Unfortunately, there are many sets of these collecting dust in garages around the country. There really is no demand for the stock-height springs, considering many owners have switched to the M030 coils or other alternatives. I would not consider winning this auction at $1 to be the deal of the century.

I have a set in my garage that I would simply give away.

Remember the park when you were a kid those horses that had the springs attached so you could rock back and forth? Possible use.

We used to get them rocking back and forth and try to get the nose and tail to touch the ground. You're right good times.

Diving boards used for residential pools typically use a single coil spring.

More liability in the pool industry than in the racing arena.

My toddler loves those! Or use two and make a see saw. Even big heavy adults can ride those with a toddler on the other end.

Cheers,
