Hello guys

I have restored my old Manta Ray and it has come out really good:-)

The thing is that the shocks springs are really soft and i just want to get some one that are harder. I could got with some aluminium hop up but i want to keep as original as possible.

My question is which springs do i need, i have looked at asiatees.com and rcmart and there are alot of them avaible but i don't know which one i have to choose.

I found these but will they fit?

Hopefully some of you guys can help me:-)

Thanks in advance.

The easiest is to use harder oil

I think stock shock oil is around 200-250cw - If you want them a bit harder I'm guessing between 400 and 800cw would work..?

You could also use/move the adjustment ring to ad tension of course.
Not sure TC springs are any harder - and I think that shop is just a database (better look on eBay).

MantaEdouray is right. On my shelf queen one I put the ring on the max tension for the rear. And double springs on my runner

Thanks guys for your input.... I will get some oli and try that.
I have tried to take the tension ring all the way down but i don't think it works.
If i decide to get some new springs, what will you recommend for my?

You can test to find some clod buster springs or yellow cva springs for lunch box

Using rear (original) springs on the front might also work.
