I back off the speed spring to 20MPH because I was afraid of the spring coming out of the hole. Bought a CarParts speed spring and installed, tighten so no thread showed on the backside, 27MPH with stock wheels. Have you ever riden a golf cart at 27MPH? That's fast. If I would tighten the Car Parts speed spring even more I bet it will go at least 30MPH!

NOW I am Believer, buy the speed spring if you want to go fast!!!!!
Cool! Sometimes the easest "IS" the best solution. Thanks for sharing your findings
