[QUOTE="Bud-Man, post: 24714, member: 20830"] 4banger, I've seen this problem before. Most notably the mid-90's KYB forks. They were easily corrected by turning down the spring guide in a lathe. The problem was usually discovered during a fork service and involved the existing spring. What is unusual in your case is that the existing spring fits with clearance and the new one rubs the guide, correct? I would check the part numbers on the new springs and if possible measure both sets to make sure an error wasn't made some where that might account for the new springs not fitting properly. It's odd that two sets of springs from the same series fit dramatically different. [/QUOTE]
