RE: Differant springs
I'm using these.............
They are tripple rate springs which are quite plush but get progressivley harder the further they travel. So running on the flat gives a nice plush soft ride, but if you take any jumps they won't bottom out. Best of both worlds.

RE: Differant springs
Note sure which FG you have but the MB springs are longer and thicker than the MT springs. I've had both and noticed it when I was cleaning them. You can also get on-road springs and cut one in half to make a progressive type shock.

RE: Differant springs
Are thoe on road springs lighter? Do not do much if any jumping with it, run dirt oval and have way too much rear wheel hop with it, I dropped to 30 weight oil in the rear to see if that helps at all but still way firm.
