These 2.6mm coil springs are an aftermarket spring set produced for the TRAXXAS 1/8 X-Maxx platform by GPM, supplied as 1 set. They are intended as direct-fit springs for the X-Maxx shock assembly and for use with either the original shocks or GPM optional dampers.
Use these springs when you need a firmer spring rate than stock light coils provide. The 2.6mm wire diameter increases spring stiffness, which helps control body roll and improves rebound behaviour under high-load landing and cornering conditions. That makes them suitable for drivers who want tighter suspension response for track or aggressive off-road routines.
Installation is straightforward: remove the shock cap and spring retainer, slide off the old spring, and fit the 2.6mm spring ensuring correct orientation and preload. Check for proper spring seating on the shock perch and verify travel to avoid coil bind. Small preload or spacer changes will alter ride height and effective spring rate, so tune incrementally and test after each adjustment.
Notes for tuning: pair these springs with appropriate shock oil and piston choices to balance damping with the higher spring rate; increasing oil viscosity or using a smaller piston hole can moderate faster rebound that thicker springs may induce. Always bench-test assembly and perform a short on-track test after any change.
