Default Bailey's Diverter Valve

i'm looking to buy an aftermarket dv, i'm thinking about a bailey's, and i was wondering if anybody knows if they can be opened for cleaning and replceing the spring. i think all aftermarket dv's are serivceable but i just wanted to make sure, and i read that the forge springs will work in the bailey dv's, if so what spring color should be used? i always read different colors and different rates...sometimes i hear that the blue is the strongest and sometimes it the yellow...can somebody tell me what the correct rates are? thanks

Well the different springs go for different PSI levels. I am using the green spring, and I peak at around 21psi. So really you need to know your psi and then find the corrosponding spring.

as to whether or not forge springs work in a bailey's, no idea

no worries man...it's just weird that i've searched on this topic and everybody seems to have something different about which color to use. i 'm running the APR chip and i want to get an aftermarket dv, but it won't do any me good unless i know how to use it, which spring to use.

Green - 5-15 PSI

Yellow - 15-23 PSI

Blue - 23-30 PSI

Red - 30 + PSI

thats the color corrospondence according to Forge motorsports. So most people will use green, MAYBE yellow

yeah...i've heard more about the bailey's being really reliable...but as far as aftermarket dv's go...i think they're all probably pretty reliable.
