Those are the stock springs for the Brute....same as mine..was. You bought a pink primary as I remember. Just pull all the 10mm bolts around the spider and swap the springs. Mark the spider head so it goes back on the same way. It actualy has arrows but sometimes not easy to see.

Is that what you needed islandbrute?

As heavy as these aftermarket tires and rims are, and the hills & mountains we climb...a major improvement. Expect the RPMs to be a bit higher then they were but thats what happens when you are in a lower range but you should top out about the same.. just get there faster. You can also stop worring about always grabbing low range on some steep hills. The additional belt grip and the lower range will just shoot you to the top in high no sweat. The almond is a good choice. Its a little stouter then mine at the start and its just a little less at the end so you will have more low end grunt the mine but it will shift-over a bit faster say above 45mph.

Got it down. Might as well do it. You will need a spring compressor. Can make your own or get one from EPI. I use mine more then I ever thought I would.
