V2 Shock shafts and slipper

[Swell]

I have v2 shocks with the gold shafts on my centro and need a to replace a broken shaft im not sure what size is needed to replace it, anyone any ideas

Ta lee

Ps any thoughts on the vts (vs) avid slipper?

1.07 rear shafts. .....0.89 front....

I am wondering about the vts slipper as well..... Must be an improvement as it is on the new kit B4.2.

If you can get the regular silver shafts seem to be less brittle than the gold shadts. Probs is that the c4 shocks are mounted behind the tower and arms and so any hit from behind usally ends up with a broken shaft.

Never thought of the silver springs...cheaper too..!
My C4.1 got rear ended and broke a gold shaft ..... Rear mounted shocks seem very vulnerable ..

The VTS is a really big improvement on the old slipper, more surface area means you can run it looser without it all cooking and doing strange things, I also run the high torque pad on the inside plate for maximum area

Thanks for that Richard...... However it's more about the lack of steering..braking abilities of drivers behind me..!!..

The advice on the VTS is appreciated though...will definitely get one, now they are back in stock...
