Choosing the correct size coil
Three essential measurements
1. Stroke length - This is the actual travel of the shock itself. To measure this, measure the visible part of the shock shaft in inches (1" = 25.4mm).
2. Maximum spring free length that your shock will take. To measure this wind the preload off completely and measure from the inside of the spring collar to the inside of the preload nut.
3. Spring rate (in lbs) - Spring rate refers to the stiffness of the spring and will vary due to rider weight, riding style/discipline, leverage ratio of the bike, and suspension design. As a general rule you are trying to achieve the correct amount of sag. Sag is the amount your suspension travels when you're sitting on your seat, feet on your pedals and hands on the bars. This should be around 1/3 of the total travel on a DH bike and 1/4 of the total travel on an XC or All-Mountain bike (this can vary due to suspension design and personal preference).
Once you have established these above three measurements, choose your spring using the following rules
1. Spring stroke - should be equal to or greater than stroke of the shock.
2. Spring length - should be equal to or less than the max spring free length of the shock (so the spring physically fits).
3. Spring rate - should be suited to your body weight, bike and riding style
E.G: If your shock stroke is 2.8", the spring rate of your old coil is 450lbs and your max free length is 165mm, you need a coil with the dimensions 3" x 450lbs x 162mm (i.e. if you dont see a spring that has the exact stroke of your shock you can use a spring with a longer stroke, as long as the free length will fit).
