you can get them from norco, but the problem is that no one is making them right now like there is no titanium spring manufacturers, but they wil be working on getting some by mid. may this year so you may be able to get one just go to your local norco dealer that deals norco parts and ask for them to look it up in the suspension part of the catalogue.

Does anyone knows where I could find a titanium spring for a 2008 Fox DHX 5.0, 350X3.25
Thanks!
For an aftermarket Ti spring, you DO NOT need a 3.25" travel spring, just a 3.00" travel spring, since your shock has 3.00" of travel. It sounds crazy because your spring says 3.25", but trust me, I've looked into this. I'm most probably going to order one for myself.
Just make sure it's for a DHX, since the ID (internal diameter) is a bit different than Manitou, Marzocchi, etc...

or if you feel like ordering from the UK...

Just because they have them in a catalog does not mean you can get them. They were not in stock all season last year.

I was referring to the others because they make springs for all the shocks, where as Manitou makes Ti for their own shocks.
