you might have to call fox on that one. give them your weight and what bike you are putting it on, and they will let you know what the right one is for you
I hate to rain on the parade mate but if you ask Tim Flook.....

Not really what I expected to hear either but it may be a fact and indicated that our $$$ coudl be spent better elsewhere

Most likely a 600lb spring.cogs said:
Fox vanilla springs are pretty heavy tho. My fox 700x2.25 weighs nearly 2x as much as the no name 700x2.25 coil that came on my Giant.
Thats easy, a pound of feathers, I've never seen a bird fly filled with a pound of leadDuzitall said:
Thats what I was always told. I always used a 600lb spring on my Karpiel, went to an Avalanche which the biggest steel spring is a 550lb, it was too soft. Went to a 600lb Ti and it's perfect.farrell said:
I picked up a Ti srping for my Sunday last week. The stock Progressive 3.0" x 275lb spring weighed in a 17.5oz. The Ti spring is from RCS and is a 3.0" x 250lb spring. Granted I am not comparing the exact same spring rate but the RCS weighed in at almost 9oz lighter.SKT said:I hate to rain on the parade mate but if you ask Tim Flook.....

It is a question not worth considering.You won't find a Ti spring that will fit in that rate(600lb).No one is making Ti springs to properly fit a Vanilla.You would want a ID of 1.35-1.36" and the way Ti springs are made you will find that a 600Lb rate spring will rub the resivour.This will be due to the wire size(Dia.)that would be needed enless it is made with really high stress levels.The best thing to do is go with a DHX and run a little lighter spring(It has some of the same issues)or better yet go with a Avy with remote.
