I replaced the donuts in my 415C with the Belleville springs because I got tired of replacing the rubber donuts every annual (they compress) I MUCH prefer the springs, I suggest you keep them. I do have a metal spacer on each main gear to raise the tail to 75" and it handles much better (I have the double fork which raises the nose) So my suggestion is to leave the springs and add a spacer to get 75" I also added the rubber cup to the o-rings on the main strut to keep the fluid in. When you use both you have to use Silicon Brake Fluid (available at high performance auto parts stores) since it will not attack either the rubber cup or the O ring. I did all this about 8 years ago and have had no problems with the main gear since.
