| Where to get springs?
Hey guys, I need some springs to tune my pro-line powerstroke "scalers". Now I've found plenty for springs on RPP, but I'm a lil' unsure where the supplied information is taking the measurements from. I know that the springs I'm looking for have to be 12mm I.D, and that I'd like to have them in 20mm, 70mm, and maybe 90mm in length. Odd colours don't scare me I'll just hit them with some spray paint. I'm going off of what my caliper says about my scaler springs, a spring with 14mm O.D should have an I.D of about 12mm, if the spring material is 1mm. The reason for this^^ is that I decided to put on of the pro-line bronco wraith bodies on my BMRC IF/IR suspension wraith...wrexo...what ever you like to call it, and there is now no room for the larger SCT powerstrokes I had on it before, well no room in the front, there is still loads of room for them in the rear, but having 2 different O.D shocks bothers me when I look at it. I also started thinking it was time to move my shocks into the stock location on the exo a-arms, instead of having them mounted outboard where the lower eye holes were getting ground to pieces. So please let me know what you guys have on hand, so I may order what I need. |

Probably best to ditch the dual stage and get some longer single stage springs for the prolines.
