Grind the beyotch. I had to on mine. I was able to use a 6 point but we might be running different springs.

Grinding sometimes has to be done on the middle washers on each head, when you are using larger OD springs. Grinding them as stated above is an acceptable method.

Depending on the spring, a thin wall 6pt should do the job.
