This topic has been discussed in various posts, but I can't seem to locate the info by searching.

I'm going to have a local suspension guy refurb my S4 shock and would like to swap out the spring.  I think it's too soft (180-185 w/o gear), and the paint is starting to crack in spots.  Can you guys/gals help me finding out what springs are available and where they can be bought?  BTW, I'm happy with the shock, so will not be buying an Ohlins or Pennske or _____ replacement, just want to get this one in good working condition.

Thanks!

Your suspension guy isn't very good if he can't tell you what spring is going to be appropriate for you... Wink

I have an Ohlins Spring that I bought from Ducvet at Clubhouse motorsports for around $100 give or take...

My suspension guy doesn't know yet that I'm going to ask him to do this work.  Thought I'd ask here about possibilities and FHE to see what people have been happy with in the world of Monsters.  I'll pass along your opinion of him.  I'm sure he'll be saddened.
