Vyper Chair Question.. What Would You Do?

I love the quick height adjustment on my Vyper. However I wish the seat spring was a little shorter. The seat rod can go down about 1.5”’s more and still have enough clearance so it doesn’t run on the ground.

Here’s what I’ve done so far. I called Vyper and asked if they could create me a shorter spring. They said no.

I understand why there’s a spring and I only weigh 153lbs and will never compress it. As a shorter person, a 1.5” drop would make a difference for me.

I know I could try to buy a spring locally, but their spring ends are leveled flat. I also have no interest in cutting the spring.

Here’s my question to the group. What can I buy off the shelf to replace the spring? Where can I buy it? I would have thought 💭 it would be easy to research/ find and it’s not. So looking for your advice.

Note I’d also want the replacement to look good too.

Thanks to all.
