Hey guys, I hate to bring this up again. What is the heavier Ski Doo spring you replace the OEM front rear suspension spring with when you put the Star Suspension in? I have a 2011 Apex XTX.

Hygear dual rate spring is the way to go!

You can use this BRP spring, part # 503192217. Inside diameter is a little bigger but it gets the job done.

I bought one of the 150-lb springs from Star Suspension with their full kit about a month ago. The spring that was sent is a Ski-Doo 503195913.

When you say "150-lb spring" Is that how much you weigh or is this just a standard spring? I weigh around 200lbs.

That means that the spring rate is 150 lbs per inch when compressed.
