Sorry.

I found some C-620 springs at a local hardware store. I run them inside the shocks under the shock piston for a droop effect. They suck the pistons in vs. the normal way. I do not run an external spring.

That kind of shock will make your rig have a lower cog, better handling on some situations, better sidehilling capabilities, do a search on droop set ups.

Also check this small video with a shock with an internal spring.
Droop shocks?
