Default Where to get different coils for Vanilla
Where can I get different coils for a Fox Vanilla? Will one from a DHX fit? Anyone have a 400# x 2.25 lying around?

Any shop can order one from Fox.

That was quick. I've been seeing them for around 40 bucks. Any aftermarket manufacturers that are cheaper?

Go to your local shop or call Fox direct. I called 'em direct and had a new spring in my hands in three days.

You can order parts like coil springs directly from Fox. They'll ship them to your house. Cut out the middle man and order direct. 1-800-FOX-SHOX.

How much are they at the Path? I just hate to pay $40 for a spring to find its not the right spring.

Last one a bought over a year ago was $25...I have found out that I can get many things cheaper thru The Path then dealer direct.

If you call Fox and tell them the bike it's going on and you're weight, they can tell you the sizing.

+1 for The Path

When setting the coil for my DHX I remember seeing drawers full of springs.

Since it was a new bike, they traded my 600 lb coil for a 500 lb coil at no cost.

Bring your bike in and I'm faily confident they can set you up for as cheap as anyone.
