Looking for guidance on replacement springs and dampers.
I actually need them for an M10 but suspect the M12 will be pretty much the same.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Steve , you can purchase spring and damper sets for the M12 from Protech shocks , the bolt patterns are 1/2” UNF on the lower wishbone and m12 on the top chassis mount . Is this the same on the M10 .

Hi simon, I think these are 1/2" top and bottom but I doubt that will be an issue with Protech as I expect them to be made to order. There aren't even enough M12 to warrant them having sets sitting on the shelf. I will give them a call.
I read a number of posts where you and others were playing with spring rates. Did this resolve into a preferred rate for road use?

Hi mate , 475lb fronts and I think something like 600 rears , cannot remember for sure . Protech should be able to sort that as well !
