Default MIBO A-10 LG springs

Hi,
I'm finally finishing my A-10 and was wondering if anyone has the specs on what springs to use to replace the stock shock springs.
Thanks,
Jon

Jon unless your hawg is way out of specs/envelope with weight, fuel, turbine size, ordnance, etc. there is no need to replace the stock springs.Your option of course but we have never found it necessay to replace the stock springs.Hope to cu in Kentucky.....

HI, the Springs do need replaceing, Walter from , I believe, NY, has bought a whole bunch of proper springs. He and Bob Lavean have A-10's. This winter, I will start my Mibo A-10, and will also be looking for springs.
Do relize that Mibo has changed the supplier of the struts, i guess when the new struts arrive, they will not need the replacement springs. But we with the older struts , do need replacement.
Maybe Walter will chime in.

Pete he is not going but I am and Walt and I are flying together on Sunday so I could grab a set for you. He had them custom made as off the shelf ones did not do the job. Roger just sent me the tracking for my new Gen 4 kit should be here in a few days. Right now I am fixing another gen four that got damaged in shipping[&o] got to love the mibo kit the glass work is first class. I will buzz Walt and ask him for a set of spring for you if you want.
