Sorry guys - shocks and springs

(1/2) > >>

drmike:
I have +2" shocks which I bought to try and fix an articulation problem but the springs I have are so stiff it didn't help that much.

Do you think I could fit standard length springs without damaging the shocks?

Also, can anyone explain in simple terms the relationship between load/rate and stiffness.

TIA

Bob696:
There are some springs for a 90 on ebay at the moment  :twisted:

Sharpshooter:
Normal shocks and springs are only £13+vat for springs, and £10+vat for shocks from Paddocks.

You should be able to fit normal springs, as long as your not intending on bottoming the shocks out. :D

drmike:
All the various LR springs are reasonably priced in my experience and I'd rather have genuine springs than the things Paddocks sell - BTDT.

The bottoming out isn't the issue (I think) it's what hits first - the bump stop or the limit of upward travel on shock.

I  fully intend to use all the articualtion I can get and want as much droop as I can get.
