Default 2" Springs

I hear lots of folks mention the 2" spring for the crossbones seat. I'd like to try them. Where do I buy them?

Before I went all Frame Mounted I got the 2" springs. I am a little over 200lbs and bottomed out as soon as I sat on them... they came off before I left the garage.

I had the same problem, didn't even get out of my driveway before it bottomed out. I am only 180 lbs. I think the springs are 3" for a reason. I went back to the original springs.

I had the same problem, I swapped the 2" out for the scissor springs that came with my La Rosa and I swear I have not bottomed out yet, ok once but I hit a pothole. I love the scissors. I weigh 200lbs by the way.

I really think all springs are different, I got my 2" springs from J&P and don't bottom out, I'm 190 lbs.
