why would you used limit straps? They're generally only used together with serviceable shocks.

But I did this with the Fox shocks.

Why? Because I don't want to have a spring fall off while giving it some death on a circuit. 2 clamps would work but as I am going to be swapping between two sets in a pit area quick and simple is the key and bolts through the spring seats will be fiddly compared to straps and pins with clips.

If you want quick and easy, A couple of large (10mil ) cable ties top and bottom. Around the spring coil and through the spring seat. Proper ones ( not pound shop rubbish) will keep them there.
Just cut them off when you change springs and replace.

It's been fettled just a tad.

What kind of racing is it you do, since it requires you to swap springs?

I use this from LowRange Offroad. It's super easy to use and setup.

Hadn't thought about zipties, good idea that man.

I haven't started formal racing yet due to still using the car for work and everything else but with the new much harder springs it's way way too firm for my spine on our pathetically surfaced roads never mind my farm tracks but conversely the road springs are too soft for circuit use. What I am finding though is that the trailmaster dampers do an amazing job of controlling both sets of springs, very impressed.
