shock springs

[spike.1965]

I have put new adjustable shocks on my Baja, The front ones are fine but the backs seem to be slow to return even when the adjusting ring is part way down the shock body. I used the standard blue shock springs. Is there a stronger spring available.

20mm pre load alloy shocks, I have swopped the blue back springs with the purple fronts which have improved the return a bit, but I would like to find a better pair to put on the back.

You could just try using a lighter oil in the shocks... But you want the rear to be slow on return compared to the front
