I am unimpressed by the Eibach website or Fox, on the spring issue.  You would think they would be just a bit helpful like giving spring lengths for specific shocks or something.  Eibach doesn't even have off road category, motorcycle or atv?

Let me know when someone knows something.  ::)

The Eibachs have problems developing bows to them making them want to rub holes in the shock cans.
 
Hypercoils have been a lot better with this.
 
If you keep and eye on the Eibachs and sand the ends square when they start to bow, they usually take a nice set after a sand or 2 and stop bowing.

I agree. I have to call whenever I need springs just to get prices. Basically the springs added lengths will be double the travel. You never want to compress the spring more than 50%

I'm unimpressed with many sites/manufacturers with the level info available. It's like "we're the best,figure your own shit out.don't bother us with wanting info".

Thats a really bad rule of thumb to go by. Springs vary a lot between manufacturers, some heavy rate springs won't even collapse to half there free length. Always check with the manufacture for the spring block height. That being said, most buggy's use so light of springs, coil bind will not be a problem unless there is something seriously wrong.

Thats what I was told by the King Spring manufaturers.

Negative, they buy them. Depending on the size and rate, it could be Eibach, Hypercoil, National, or ???? I was told a while back what the other 2 were, but I forget.
