Dont call me out on this but if I remember this correctly I read on this forum, that fox springs rub the resivoir on 5ths? (if thats possible) but manitou springs are 100% compatible but theier # is lower (ex 450 manitou = 500 progressive)
just some crap thats not 100% confirmed.... somewhat a useless post...
I think it was TNC that was screwing with manitou springs and 5ths... maybe...
Progressives take a little spacer to work right on a Fox.
And to jake, it makes sense that Manitou and Progressive springs are interchangable, since the shocks are the same thing. I'm pretty sure Jake's right about Fox springs on a Manitou/ 5th.
Yes, they are. I just took the Ti spring off my M1 (5th Element) and put it on my Socom (Fox DHX), and vice versa. Seems fine.
