Default Ti spring

Anyone know where I can get a ti spring for a Marzocchi Roco rear shock?

Thanks

Default Ti coil spring

What are the specs?

I'm not sure this will fit, but I have an almost new, 300#, 2.25" stroke Ti spring that is for sale. It came off of a SC Heckler Fox DHX 5.0. I bought a higher # coil.

I've got one on my Sunday, and I'm having problems with it rubbing on the shock body on both the Roco and the DHX. I'm using an RCS spring spacer to keep the spring centered, but it hasn't helped. Hearing it scrape the shock body on every g-out was driving me crazy today.

I also needed the spring spacer to allow me to run the Ti spring on the Roco, as it is much shorter than the steel Fox spring, so I ran out of threads before I could add any preload.

It does save a big chunk of weight, however.

STR gets a discount at the path? I just bought some gloves there the other day too. Thought they tacked on 10% just for mentioning the STR name

Then we take off 20. Then we jump you out back, steel the parts back and torture you till you promiss to come back and do it again the next day.
