This is a replacement spring cup designed specifically for SLF short-shock assemblies and listed as compatible with BD7-2014 dampers. The cup secures the spring within short-stroke shock bodies and enables precise setting of spring seating height and preload without any shaft or retainer modification.
Installation follows standard shock servicing: disassemble, remove the spring and old cup, locate the new cup on the shaft or lower assembly according to your SLF short-shock layout, then rebuild and confirm smooth travel. Retain the original seals and spacers to keep damper oil sealed and stroke behavior unchanged.
In practical terms, fitting a different spring cup changes spring seat and preload span rather than piston flow. Small changes to seating position affect initial spring engagement, chassis balance and transient feel. Check for side play after fitting and remeasure preload and travel once reassembled.
