Default Pro Line Powerstroke lighter spring option?

Looking for a lighter rear Powerstroke secondary spring option. Looking for something with a rate of about 2.0-2.2, for rear slash shocks, so ideal length is 58mm, but I'm sure 55-60mm could work.

I apologize if this is something simple, I may just not have the proper vocabulary to search it out. Google lands me a thousand links to the spring kits. (Which I already have)

Axial SCX springs fit the Proline shocks and they have several spring rates to choose from. I searched "Axial SCX Spring" on Amain but several stores carry them. Will get you started with the part numbers.

Edit, I see you said you run the Slash Powerstrokes, not sure if the SCX springs fit that model of powerstroke.

The SCX springs do not fit the slash version of the PL shocks. I am running the blue rear springs in the front with no "helper" spring. For the rear I am running blue as well. The springs in the rear are a bit short so I am going to have to do some research there. I also drilled the pistons out on them and dropped to 15wt oil.

I'm trying to keep the dual rate (hence the ~60mm length), I'm just a tad too stiff on the secondary (long) spring still. On a scaler, with realistic mounting, so trying to make best possible use out of limited travel.

So you are looking for the longer of the two springs in a dual rate setup?

If so, I'm pretty sure Losi or AE springs may fit, and they typically have a pretty wide range of available spring rates. You'd most likely need some buggy front springs as most buggy rears would likely be too long.

I don't have the full dimensions on what I'm looking for, but I can't imagine it not being in that list.

Now THAT's what I call a spring chart!
