Please Welcome Crutchfield Performance

Ed I think my setup would be perfect with 180# springs on the bottom half.

Guys it's hard to explain the difference riding the Outty with these shocks and with the BRP shocks but it's like riding a different machine. A better, more tuned machine.

I plan on finding out how my Can Am handles with the Bilstein shox, as soon as the dealer comes thru with the fronts, i have the rears. Good to know that i can spring them to my liking, though!

The formula for effective spring rate using two stacked springs is

1/Keff = 1/K1 + 1/K2

180# is 180 lbs / inch if I am not mistaken. So a 180# spring topped with a 70# spring gives an effective spring rate of 50.4#.

Outlandish I will send you a set of 160# out on monday.That will give you more choices on your ride.I would start with 200# pri.160#sec.If its still to stiff for your liking change the pri.to the 180# just return the ones you don't need.

Mikey v the bilsteins the can-am dealer sells are not in anyway the same as what I sell.The springs that i sell will not fit.The only thing they have in common is the name.

One more thing I will giveeveryone 30 day trial period with these shocks.If your not happy just return them for a full refund.THX. Ed

Great! I'ts sure nice to be able todial in to my riding style and comfort preferences instead of a choice of just a couple clicks on the stockers. Thanks Ed

Hi All,

I just got off the phone with Ed, a very smart chassis guy in the Auto racing world and it seems as if he has dedicated some time and thought to this Can-Am shock issue. Lucky for us!!!!

I Bought a set that he says should ship this Friday. I will give my impressions as soon as I get a good trial done. I race aFormula Ford in the northeast and will becrossweighting the 07650 Max XTbefore and after the Crutchfields. I will be preparing a bump steer measurement and correction set-up as well, if there is anyone interested.THe Motion Ratio will be determined and from there can do a pretty good job getting a balanced quad. and maybe do without a steering damper.

More to come

I will be calling Ed tommorrow what type of info will he need to fit me with the right set of shocks and springs. Thanks for any help you may can give me
