DHX 9.5x3 400lb. 5th Element Ti=around 820g. The ti spring saved me 251g or about 9ozs. The ti spring felt a little stiffer than the 400x3.25 Fox steel spring. Zero preload on the ti and 2 turns with the Fox.I also had to shim the 5th spring with pop can pieces doubled up about (3) 1/2" wide pieces on the bottom with a continuous single piece on top preload collar. Works good, no more spring rub on one side of the seal head. Shock also got new oil, I used 50/50 ratio Silkolene RSF(Racing shock fluid) 5wt, mixed with 7.5wt to match the weight of the Torco RSF Medium(32 cSt@40C) OIl Fox uses. The old oil was super dirty and probly had some air mixed in causing the DHX to become real soft on hard fast hits. Seems good again.
