Anyone tried the Hygear dual rate springs on the 06 apex?

I remember when I cracked the powder axles on my firecat back in the day, turned our arms were bent too. I didn't find any cracked axles on the apex, but didn't get a chance to examine closely.

I've decided to go a different direction with the front shocks, so I'll be sending these springs back. I will for sure dig into the arms and ponder the front bulkhead saver kit as well.

When you found the arm bent, was it both top and bottom? I saw the bottom arm is $180 and the top $225? Not sure why top is so much more? Ouch!!!

Yes, both were bent but the bottom one was worse.

The top one is made out of aluminum and that is why it is so expensive.
I ended up purchasing mine in the U.S. as I had a buddy who was heading there, and I believed I saved over $200 dollars doing so. (CDN prices for both parts were ridiculous, around $650 I believe? )

The bulkhead saver kit is definitely a great idea, I have one and love the fact knowing it is there!
