Hi Guys, I have the 2010 Specialized FSR 1 with the pretty basic X-fusion vector shock (can't see it on the website, but apparently it is made for specialized only) anyhow, it can not be pumped up, so i have wound up the pre-load about as far as i am comfortable doing. The problem is i keep bottoming out the shock on approx 5-foot drops.
It currently has the 500lbs coil on it and i weigh 60kg. Would i benefit from a 550lbs coil or even 600lbs coil?
Thanks guys.

best advise i would give you (not being a smart arse) would be to get a second hand shock off one of the more reputable members of farkin, dont waste your time with a 3rd grade shock it will ruin your enjoyment. i was silly enough to keep an x-fusion on my haro, it was like a proper bike once i had replaced the shock. dont put up with rubbish
