Race tech question

Can i just drop in new springs
I would like to try putting in new springs myself.
If i take the top caps off can i pull out the old springs and put in the new? Do i have to use the provided spacer tube?
Can i adjust my sag by just using the provivded washers?
Thanks
Nick

In a nutshell yes. You will need to use the spacer tube. The fun part is setting your sag as you will have to put it all back together, measure, take it apart, cut, measure again. It is slow work but doable, nothing difficult.

I installed .90 springs and used a 7 1/4'' spacer. Defy started with a 7 1/2' and went to a 6 7/8" if I recall correctly.
