Hey guys,
So I just got my DDM springs yesterday and installed them. They are supposed to be 20% stiffer than stock but they feel much stiffer. The stock shock/spring combo had terrible rebound and wouldn't even level the buggy after the suspension was compressed. Without changing any of the shock oil, the DDM springs definitely fixed the issue. The suspension is very responsive and pops back up quickly the way a buggy should be. However, the springs seem a bit too stiff. I had to remove all the preload and the suspension arms still sit higher than level (parallel). In fact, static the buggy's suspension barely drops at all from it's own weight. I haven't tested it yet as I don't run my buggy in snow or wet. Does anyone else have experience with these springs? How will the spring stiffness affect handling? I've always been told to get A arms level/parallel with the ground.
thanks,
