Can I use 2.25" helper springs on 60mm main springs?

[jamba]

I am able to source 2.25" helper springs locally. Rather than buying the 60mm swift springs and waiting for shipping, can I just use the 2.25"? I believe they are either hyperco or eibach helpers. My main springs are 60mm 6" Swift Springs. I already have helper guides that can accomidate 2.25" or 60mm.

Yes as long as the spring coupler is the correct size for the 60 mm main spring. The 2.25" helper should work fine on a 60 mm spring coupler that fits on either the OD or ID of the helper spring.

thanks. How about 2.5 in? Would that be too big

Yes. The diameter is too large for a coupler that restrains the OD, and it will overhang on a coupler that restrains the ID (not a large overhang so this would work but not ideal).
