I know the internal diameters are different - is this a problem?

Thanks

IIRC RS are bigger ID, so won't sit on the spring collars properly and can subsequently rub on the body/piggyback. The spring is also a larger OD, so again chance of hitting the piggyback

Thanks HC - Yep I was wondering if there could be some fouling issues.

Best to get the proper spring rather than the Vivid due to the OD being larger.

I have a couple of Ti springs for my Vivid. Before I consider changing to a Van (had one on loan whilst Vivid was serviced and I liked it but it may be my Vivid really needed serviced!!) I wanted to know if my springs could re used and now I know the can't I will likely not change.
