Hey all...

I have a '02 Rock Hopper w/a Manitou Six Elite 100mm Fork..

I Need to upgrade these springs they are way to soft. I think I am going to go with the Firm Ride Kit. I was wondering if there are any other aftermarket springs that work with this fork? Also anyone know how hard it is to change these springs?
Last but not least.. Do you know of sites that sell the springs, i caint find one store online (googled it) that sells these damm firm springs...

Thanks Guys

Changing the springs is not hard at all. You take off the adjuster back the lower cap out, pull out stock springs insert new one then reverse the above process. A LBS that is a Manitou dealer can get the springs easily.
