Stiffening my rear shocks

[Guest]

I was thinking about it and here is your best option.

Just replace the springs with these. http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/c.885035/n.1/it.A/id.4534/.f

Do you know for sure they will fit my stock XB rear shocks? Will I run into any trouble? Is it stiffer for sure? What if its less stiffer?

Look in my pic posted earlier I have the chrome ones. Spring diameter is the same. They will fit. They are longer and stiffer. Lol I just realized how bad I sound. Lol

I notice it says front set.... I was thinking I should buy this set even though it is consider front. My goal is to use it for my rear shock.... please read the thread if you have any question. Do you think the specific shock recommended here will work with my rear shock with no problem? I wish RCdad was here to respond.

Yes. You can use the Baja front springs on your rear shocks. They're pretty much a direct fit.

I wonder if there is a size difference..... cause I notice on DDM there was a set for the rear too for the baja. Don't know why RCdad didn't mention the rear ones too from DDM? Is there any difference from the rear and the front from DDM?

The Baja rear springs are longer than the front springs and they give you two springs per shock. He didn't mention the rear springs because you don't need them. Get the front springs. They'll fit without any hassle.

I'm debating about using my three pound wing and stiffing my rear springs. Its simply too heavy. Its all about speed and control.... maybe I can figure out an alternative to custom make a bigger wing with plastic?

It's possible. Try researching some plastics. I've seen a few online stores that carry sheets of plastic. Maybe even make one out of Lexan. Something like a B4 wing would look pretty cool.
