Option for coil spring twist/flex and noise

[bolus]

I called pivotworks, the Part number with the inner diameter of 61mm is pwshtb-t01-001

But if I buy from Amazon I have to pay sales tax!

This is the company that is actually selling them through Amazon: http://www.powersportsuperstore.com/PIV ... 120314.htm

You can order direct. It seems most people are just getting two for the rears. Any benefit to putting them on all four corners?

The rear has the most stiction. Darth is running thrust bearings on the top and bottom of each spring for good measure. I'm just running 2 on the back though mine are not sealed.

I'm on the phone right now with them ordering 4. Once we confirm they will work on the Atom, they guys at PowerSports Superstore said they'll set up a Power Buy for us.

Darth got his set of these and they fit perfect. The inner diameter of the srping perch is something like 55 mm so the other one would work but it will be a little too large.

These on the other hand are the perfect size

your post confuses me.

which set did Darth buy?
when you say "so the other one would work but it will be too back" what does that mean? what other one...what does too "back" mean?

is the simple answer just buy 4 sets of these

sorry, I should not post while sick.

the pivot works ones will be a little large but still work .

The vorslag ones fit perfect (but are an ugly green)

[silver]

hmm ugly green might work.

I tell you what, after taking off the helper springs and even installing just one set of bearings on each rear perch, the car is soooo much better to drive, when going over bumps, it's 95% improvement. seems like if I traded up to full sealed bearings on top and bottom of springs front and back I'd probably feel a slight improvement but maybe the actual improvement will be more subtle.

I emailed them to see if they can offer them in other colors.

The yellow doesn't look all that bad... On a gold car, lol. I used a slightly different strategy than Lanes - the order of my install is the top hat, the bearing, four metal rings (from the other bearings) the spacer that has a lip on the top and bottom, the spring, and then the spacer with a lip on one side.

The reason for the four metal rings is to keep the red top hat inner lip from touching the black spacers lip, while still creating enough of a lip to hang the bearing from.



And here it is installed
