im looking to get heavier clutch springs for my spree, ive looked at the polini blacks, but my understanding is that they are too big? which ones should i get or should i have them made?
after grinding down my pulley i am ready to reassemble the the tranny, my question is about the placement of the washers: do they go on the front or rear pulley?
thanks, and i apologize if this info is on previous posts, but i havnt been able to find it.

if the clutch springs go on hard then they will work, shims are used on the front pulley between the ramp & boss.

The washer you're referring to goes between the crankshaft and the inner pulley. Don't leave it out or you'll trash the crank.

If you can find anyone that will make springs that small I'd like to know. I couldn't find anyone when I looked.

There is a spring maker near me (not that thats any use to you guys) who makes all sorts of springs. I'd love to get some made, but how much stronger should I get them made? I don't want the clutch to do nothing untill 3/4 throttle, and then just grab really hard. Any suggestions?
It's going to cost me $35 a set to have them made (thats their minimum charge) so I wanna get it right 1st time.
It also just occoured to me, that with heavier springs, you'd lose engine breaking at a higher speed too.
