Ok thanks! I thought there was something peculiar about that, but thanks for clearing that up. Also, are those springs non-magnetic?

im temporarily using springs out of some lego piece. they're magnetic but they dont interfere with the steering too much. they accually help me before the car would flip over every time i would turn.
