It was a valvespring, not a coil spring... 100grams was the weight of the spring...

Just imagine how far and at what speed one of those things would launch at considering the RPMs those guys run those motors to...

yeah yeah, it was obvious, like most people that heard about this, wondered how the hell a suspension spring (commonly referred to as a coil spring, thus the common term 'coil over')... I was just commenting on the specifics... :goof

It was not a VALVE spring. It was a small upper rear suspension spring. Probply from rear dampner.
