Hi,I need help,Ive got manitou swinger 4way shock (9.00"(230mm) x2.75"stroke), and I bought manitou titanium spring for it(3.00"x450),I know that this spring has bigger stroke than my shocks... this spring cause scratches on shock body and I dont know how to solve it .. I tried different preloads,different spring position-spring sits good in shock but its not centered- spring is still on one side closer to shock body and there it cause scratches...I dont want to change my spring yet,only when it cant be able to solve,so please if somebody has some idea give me an advice.and sorry for my english.. thx.

9"x2.75" is a weird size isnt it?
So do you think that collars solve my problem or there should be more problems? I ve tried to find out some treads about this but I ve not found same problem with rubing spring..imo thx for reply
yes you´re right- my fault, it´s 230mm x70mm stroke
thats the same thing. you mean 9.5 x 3 right?
No, It is not 240mm(9.5")like you said ...its 230mm(I dont know it in inches), I have old giant dh team (there is 230x70mm shock)
okay, just curious
okey, so what I found until now is, that my spring need to be "perfectly" centered and that should solve my problem... I will try to find out some spacers/collars and I ll hope that it solves it...If anyone has other idea how to center my spring, it´ll be good to know..
