Default Re: DIY or pro suspension

The thing with emulators is that they are very unlikely (IMO) to get it right first time, so you're down to analysing what it's doing then modifying to suit. If you are able to describe any shortcomings you are probably capable of modifying it yourself.
I found I had to alter the hole size in the disc valves and change the valve spring rate substantially, plus deciding on spring preload, in order to get the emulators to work anywhere near where I'd like.
Changing front suspension springs is easy enough, and sorting the spacer length for ride height is simple enough. Choosing oil will have a significant effect too (I use only Fuchs/Silkolene "Maintain" RSF because of the high VI). Track use might be less fussy than road use, you tend not to get the wide variety of surface irregularities on a track (I don't do track riding).

Their quoted price seems perfectly reasonable.
