Evening,

Looking for some higher poundage springs for the nova, the standard ones aren't good enough.

I was wondering if anyone knows the dimensions, save me have to take the suspension apart to find out.

Free length, and diameter?! (Mainly free length)

Also, if anyone know what size of rear spring is required for the standard platforms?

Many thanks,

Chris

They'r actually not quite 60 od, they're about 61.5ish and the only place I've found to get springs from is spax themselves unless you do what olly H did and machine down the platforms.

60mm I/D Loggy recons...

I've found several places if that figure is correct

Phone spax and they will tell you different, 60mm 'fit' but don't fit properly, which is why olly h machined his down

Ive just remeasured, and to be fair the ID of the spring itself is closer to 61-62mm, however the spring seat diameter is closer to 60.5mm, and considering that a spring is very flexible item (a coil will naturally expand and contract when compressed and decompressed) so i cant see how a 0.5-2mm tolerance would not be acceptable for ordering or buying custom springs.
