Yokomo YS-1480 HSS Long Shock Spring - Orange  [YOKYS1480]

YS-1480 Spring Summary

The Yokomo YS-1480 HSS Long Shock Spring is an RC-scale replacement spring intended for installation inside standard shock assemblies to modify spring rate and overall feel. It arrives in an orange finish and is aimed at hobby tuning rather than factory repair.

The component works purely as a mechanical spring inside the shock: it fits over the shock shaft within the shock body to change compression and rebound characteristics under load. Use it when you want a straightforward method to stiffen or soften suspension without swapping pistons or oil.

Installation is straightforward for users familiar with threaded shock units: take the shock apart, remove the original spring, position the YS-1480, then reassemble. After fitting, verify spring preload and static ride height, then run a short test to confirm handling before extended use.

Tuning notes: expect incremental shifts in cornering balance and mid-stroke support when changing spring length or rate. Pair spring swaps with progressive shocks, varied oils, or adjustable collars to refine response rather than relying on a single change.
