Coil Springs for Rock Shox Indy/Jett/Mag 21/Quadra Upgrade? Those would all likely take the same diameter spring.

I'm also interested in dropping springs into Rock Shox Judys and old Manitous with the MACH 5 (recalled) lowers.


Willing to cut some coils to shorten.



Possible models that might have springs that fit (?)
-Rock Shox Dart...inexpensive and available in various weights
-various cheap department store junk forks


I'm trying to keep a vintage 1" MTB fleet alive with decent forks that don't require a lot of maintenance. and just LAST.

Seems to me that it wouldn't be a good idea to put steel into an aluminum moving part. You can get new elastomers for the forks though: https://suspensionforkparts.net/esho...-97-xc-sl.html
