Yokomo YS-1480 HSS Long Shock Spring, Orange  [YOKYS1480]

HSS Long Shock Spring Overview

The Yokomo YS-1480 HSS Long Shock Spring is an RC-scale replacement spring designed for use inside standard shock assemblies to alter spring rate and feel. It comes in an orange finish and is intended for hobby-grade tuning rather than stock repair.

This spring's role is purely mechanical within the suspension system: fitting over the shock shaft inside the shock body to change how the assembly compresses and rebounds under load. Use it when you want a straightforward way to stiffen or soften the suspension without changing pistons or oil.

Installation is simple for anyone familiar with threaded shock assemblies: disassemble the shock, remove the original spring, slide the YS-1480 into place, and reassemble. Check spring preload and ride height after fitting, then test on a short run to verify handling before extended use.

Tuning notes: expect incremental changes to cornering balance and mid-stroke support when swapping spring rates or lengths. Combine spring changes with progressive shocks, different oils, or adjustable collars to fine-tune response rather than relying on a single modification.
