question about up-rated springs

Postby Robin on Tue Dec 23, 2003 9:23 pm

just woundering how many miles should up rated springs last for before they need replacing?? not sure how many mine have done exactly but i've done 15k with them on. Going to replace the shocks some time soon and was woundering if i should do the springs at the same time. what do u reckon??

I shouldn't have expected the need to change uprated springs really Robin. Are you going to be changing the shocks to uprated also?

If you are going to uprate the shocks then maybe it'd work out more economical if you just went for the full shock & spring kit? Maybe sell the old springs off?
