Welsh Dragon Models are selling a set, I've fitted them and they are good.

I just drilled another hole at about nine o'clock (looking at the spring hole from above) for the first two springs then 10 for the next two, so you can tune your suspension to be stiff at the front light in the middle and stiff at the back!

Hi Guys I think Phil as a good point he has increased the tension without over doing it ,sometimes the stronger springs are to strong this can lead to broken arms .Have done this with my panzer 3 hulls and it runs like a dream.

I can vouch for this method as well.  No cost and it works.
