The Yokomo YS-1480 HSS Long Shock Spring is built as an RC replacement spring to be used inside standard shock bodies, allowing tuners to change the spring rate and ride characteristics. The orange HSS finish identifies the product series and is offered for hobby tuning tasks.
Mechanically the spring mounts over the shock shaft inside the shock body and directly alters compression and rebound behavior. It provides a direct way to alter suspension stiffness without immediately modifying internal damper components.
Fitting is straightforward for those experienced with threaded shocks: remove the shock cap, take out the old spring, install the YS-1480 and reassemble. Once fitted, check preload and ride height, then perform a short evaluation run to ensure expected handling.
Tuning guidance: expect subtle changes in cornering balance and mid-stroke support when altering spring length or rate. Combine spring swaps with oil changes or collar adjustments for a balanced result.
