I'm not sure what you mean. You just need the post which comes with the suspension, then attach it to your seat. I am not aware of a red spring.

The red spring is optional, for riders weighing 180 pounds or more, and they also have another option for riders weighing 140 pounds or less:

Snce I'm 200lb, I assumed the red spring would be the best fit.  It's ridiculous to have to be the standard and then the correct spring for it. They're expensive the way they are then you have to add another 20% to make it right.

I ordered the post and the red spring last week and used the FIRSTORDER discount code. It more than offset the cost of the spring.

Ordered the Suntour SP12-NCX, 27.2mmx400mm with additional spring (red) for $80 total.  The Cloud 9 seat is on order (back ordered).  Have received 2 ABUS GraniteX 540's.  Ordered 2 each spare tubes for each bike (wife's RadRunner plus and my Rover step thru 1).
