Xray XB808 Matched Racing springs

Xray have released these high-performance racing springs for their XB808 buggy, that have been specially developed to give better balance and an additional range of choices to fine-tune your car. Developed through extensive testing and racing experience, these linear springs use the same thickness of wire for each spring, and stiffness is controlled by the number of coils. Softer springs have a lower “C” value and more coils; stiffer springs have a higher “C” value and fewer coils. Available as a pair of springs – to fit front and rear – the springs are individually measured, controlled, inspected and matched to provide identical damping characteristics. During the selection process, each spring is compressed in several fine increments and the values recorded, and then each spring is matched with another spring of identical characteristics.
