hammer Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I need to get a heavy spring for my 08 2.9,what sources are there for the spring. I am going to get a TRP but thats a winter project but need to do something on the cheap for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 I have not seen any. And to be honest, I am not absolutely sure exactly what years will interchange on the springs.(mine is '07, as example) However, I think '08'09'10 and likely the '11 may well use the same. Now that Nationals are over, this may well be a good project for RYP Brad to investigate, and possibly have a few made up. Seems there is some demand, yet limited. The MX specialty suspension shops can do it. But would cost a lot for just one! Replicate in a 10-15% heavy range. Last word I seen stated the TRP would not fit the '10 model untill re-work, not sure if it is out yet, however the Ohlins did still fit. Splatshop UK had the Ohlins listed at about $600 US, but you wou would need to see if they can get the heavy spring on it as well. They seem good at returning e-mail, so never hurts to ask. And That is all I know about That! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlracer Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Getting a spring wound is not that bad, do some research on the web. I tried the TRP shock for a 09 and back on the 2010 doesn't fit. Back the cost of a new spring out of the cost of a new TRP and it makes the cost cheaper for a new shock. The TRP is a very nice shock, it just looks sexy all by itself ! I have a heavier spring somewhere, what is the size of your spring ie inside,outside and length ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
