Any monkies know of a great place to get a 500 lb X 3.25 ti-spring (For as little as possible). And is it worth eating ramen noodles for a month?

well since Ti springs last for ever and can never bind. buying a used Ti spring is probably your best choice

edit, you also want to state what shock its for. avy and romic springs fit eachother. but a fox on a avy does not.

5th element, fox, and manitou all seem to fit each other fine though

and you need a 500x3.0. fox just makes the steel coils a bit longer so you can't bind them as fast. as many people do over pre-load them

Sinator...I think you know.... My Ventana. But I want a 500lb, not a 550. What did you run on yours?

Is this Fox a DHX? You will have the best luck by giving MOJO in the UK. a call.

Mojo are selling springs at 230 pounds (money pounds not weight pounds), that's an expensive spring!

dropnzone can do rcs ones for $189 or manitou ones for $210.
the manitou/progressive ones are lighter than the rcs ones... but either way, that's the best price i've seen on both.

I run a 400 lb with 155 lbs of air and the bottom out 1 turn from full in

Serious? Doesn't that make the first few inches of travel too stiff? I guess that would make it more linear. I run a 500 with 135psi and the bottom out 1 turn in and either no or 1 click on the ProPedal. I think I weight about 25# more than both of you though (185#).
