Get a Quality Ride out of your UTV / Side by Side

*** NOTE *** “STOCK Can Am Main Springs are NOT that Bad….

We have been testing customers’ springs as they come in with low mileage and some with almost 1,000 miles on them and here is what we have found. The Can Am Main Springs (Lower — Larger Springs) are holding up pretty good.

I personally took (3) Can Am X3 XRS cars out to Barstow on December 1st 2016 so Eibach could do their spring evaluation and design their Pro UTV Spring kits. They always give me their test results on the factory UTV Springs and what we are finding is that the Rear Middle Tender Spring and the Front Tender Spring is failing and loosing rate. That is what has been driving us all crazy with adding more preload to get the proper ride height.

So, I believe for people that don't want to buy expensive 3.75 ID Springs they can probably get away with replacing the Front (Upper Spring) Tender spring with a new Eibach Tender Spring and replace (2) Tender Springs on the Rear with (1) new Eibach Tender Spring. I have tested this with our shock mods and it works awesome BUT for the true enthusiast that goes to the Sand Dunes and runs the big hills at speed and G’s-Out a lot and the drivers that hit big jumps or use their X3 XRS as a pre-runner for sure should replace all their Can Am factory springs with (8) new Eibach Springs. Eibach doesn’t have their Pro UTV Spring kits available as we speak. But, when they do expect to pay around $1,200 just for springs.

Springs come First

Springs, Sway Bars, and Tires and even Tire Pressures are way more Important than you can Imagine!

Springs, Sway Bars and Tires are Really the Suspension and a HUGE part of the ride Comfort of your Vehicle. The Shocks and Shock Valving is just a way to TUNE the Suspension and all of this needs to be dialed in before you chose your Shocks and Valving. Even your choice of Tires and Tire Inflation is HUGE in the Handling of yor Vehicle.

Before Suspension Tuning Begins a few more deciding factors come into play, what have you added for weight on your vehicle or what do you plan on adding in the future. Let me give you an Idea of added weight that most people don't take under concideration.

We tuned the Springs on a brand New 2016 Polaris RXR XP 4 seat Turbo in Feburary 2016 and the customer dropped it off and he had told us it was brand new and totally stock. At first it looked stock - BUT - they had added a Front Bumper, Rear Bumper with Spare Tire Rack and Side Bars - Some People call them Nerf Bars! This added 187 pounds to the vehicle which in Therory would make this Polaris 4 Seater a 5 Seater in Weight. So will his Spring Rates be Different from a 4 Seater - Depends again on more factors. Here is a list of a few things we ask before Tuning the Suspension for our Customers.
