please explain what to get and what to do?

gratzi gents
Look under "caryt" "Pharmer" and my self and search by rear springs and these user names. We all did it a bit different but with similar results.
That is to say we got the results we wanted.

I originally used the middle (third from the bottom) and the second from the bottom leaf from the original G codes. It was more than I needed so I removed the second from the bottom and only have the one added leaf that must be shortened on one end. To shorten this leaf I cut it off at the plastic pad hole and drilled out the rivit hole from the bail or loop around the original G code to fit the plastic pad.

I did not use the F code variable rate bottom leaf but do have the original G code anti-wrap half leafs installed.

Modified F code might be a tad misleading:

What you do is disassembled the original g codes modify the mid leaf if you are using it and ADD one or more leafs to the new F code pack.

I think Pharmer used the bottom two leafs added to the F code and then the new variable rate but take a look at his pictures.

CaryT used B codes and I think the same set up he has pictures also.

I did some the original work on the V code swap in early 02 but these guys and others worked out the rears.
