Two springs make up the front suspension, an upper one and a lower one. But my range of springs is limited. I probably ought to work out the right spring mathematically, by weighing the car (with me in it) and by putting scales at the nose, using the rear axle as a pivot. But I just took a too long spring, compressed it and tried it. It isn't strong enough. Without me in the car it is nose-down. But it feels like real progress.
