My frame was fairly worn as well so I redid all the bushing as they were wornout. I did not want to wear the alu frame holes anymore so I chosed a softer material - Nylon - as bushing material and proceeded to turn a set on my lathe. I can lift the thing with fingers sitting down from the drivers seat. The two coil spring really helped to off-set the weight if the frame is straight and has good bushings. The nylon bushings seems to hold up pretty well as that mod was done over 2 years back and my car is a daily drive and i put the hood up and down several times a day. fgc
