Maxton Spring

Hi all, bit of a long shot I guess but does anyone out there just happen to have a 9.5 spring for a Maxton RT10 rear shock?

Thanks for the offer Darren, as I'm not really sure it will do the job have decided to bite the bullet and fork out for one from Maxton.

Well I just thought I'd share this bit of information with you all. I've had a Maxton RT10 shock fitted for some time now but never felt like it was quite right, and compression settings seemed to be a bit excessively light. So I contacted Richard at Maxton for advice. His suggestion was to fit a weaker spring and use more damping. But what surprised me was that he said to make relatively bold changes in spring strength, in my case from a 10.25 down to 9.5 or 9.25. Anyway 9.5 spring arrived today so I fitted it, and it's hard to understand how little difference it actually makes.
