Now that I have the motor mount (thanks Nic) I tried to put on the DPS dampener but I have a major problem. The two springs on the side work just fine but the third one on the rear is having troubles.
I have tried to screw in and out the little adjuster on each spring and the rear one still won't work. I do have front springs on the dampener because it works just as well as the ones given in the kit.
I have tried new springs other springs and old springs but still the rear spring just does not have any travel. What can I do?

Take a picture of it and post it so I can see how the rear spring is set up. sounds like its put on wrong.  also if you have Instant messanger I am always on my name is nic.dobson@hotmail.com  let me know.

I put some pictures up in my gallery they might be a little blury
(my dads camera does not do so well at close ups)
I really hope that you can solve my problem.

those close ups I have aren't as easy to take as you'd think they are.

I did some its all about lighting and I agree its tuff, but seven mega pixals you don't need to get that close you just zoom in after the fact.

I have a macro lens for my camera. 

Ryan, from what I'm seeing everything looks right.   why did you elect to use the front springs instead of the ones that came with the kit?

the back one should only move slightly.  remember these things are small and light so they don't more a ton.   should have a between a 1/16 to 1/8" of movement.

I thought that there should be more travel on it. So really it was fine since I put it on. I used the front springs because the kit came with 3 small springs and 2 big springs, it should be the other way around.(I think) I read that front springs are interchangeable, so I used front springs.

sounds like you are good to go.

I'm going to be doing the same thing, I think being able to adjust spring tension will be good since I want harder springs on the side roll and softer in the rear do deaden the track bumps

Heres something I found that is kinda cool and might help.
