[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1393016, member: 3828"] Yup. The stock springs were tapered at each end. Which keeps them centered inside of the inner fork tube. If you put springs in that dont have that taper you need to install something at each end to center the spring or the spring will drift sideways and rub inside. Different companies have different strategies on accomplishing that. Some give you a plastic or Delrin inner spacer. Some give you a bronze seat for the spring to center it. I dont know what Ohlins wants you to do, but you have to do something [/QUOTE]
