Small Diameter Big boy shock springs

Post by Hillbilly500 »

I am looking for some one with experiance finding small diameter heavier springs. I have a gen3 cr250 swapped 500af.. Anyways a I cleaned up the cases some but don,t want to go to far.. Who makes springs that don't get to big in diameter?

Second, How much can you safely grind down from cases?
