Default Green spring from hotseat

After reading threads that sugested that Hotseat had tested this spring on the V force I decided to call them and get some info from the horses mouth. They said oh yeah it performs good in wooded slower technical trails as well as on the dunes. So I purchased a green primary spring, which by the way is $10 more than the pink one from EPI. I installed it today and there is no way this is good for the more technical trails or even trail riding. It engages at almost quarter throttle. Now can anyone tell me if the pink spring from EPI engages at a lower rpm and how is it's performance with duals. I just got this V a couple of weeks ago and sure is a blast to ride.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Based on that I can tell you that you wouldnt like the EPI red spring. Good luck in finding the right spring though.

Not me. I tried it. I did some tests. Not drag racing, just hill shooting. I ran it against our raptor. I could hear the engine rev more, but it did not help or hurt performance.

Mentalstate, if you want a drag racing spring get the Red spring from EPI. I have it and love it. I dont run it because my wife hates it and I let her ride the P650 when she goes with me. I dont feel like changing it out all the time so I just leave it out.
