Mugen rates its 1/8 off-road springs by wire diameter and turn count rather than lb/in — within a family, fewer turns means a stiffer spring. The springs below fit the MBX8R, MBX8R ECO, MBX8, and MBX8 ECO (Mugen lists fitment as X8R/8RE/8/8E), and every one links to that exact part at AMain. Softest to stiffest in each table.

Front Springs — 70mm, 1.6 mm Wire

Hard1.6 mm × 8.75T#E2518

Front Springs — 70mm, 1.5 mm Wire

The older 1.5 mm-wire family fits the same 70 mm front shocks; at comparable labels it runs slightly softer than the 1.6 mm series.

Fitment Notes

The 70 mm front springs also fit the MBX8T/MBX8TR truggies (Mugen lists X8TR/RE/8T/E), but the truggies use their own rear springs (E2581 series) — the big-bore rears above are the buggy fitment. Older big-bore front springs (E0573/E0574/E0581) belong to the MBX6/MBX7 generation and are not part of the current 70 mm lineup.
