spring weight help
hi guys,
I weigh 185lb without gear, should I be looking at 9.0N springs? Ive searched and found the racetech calculator but it wont work for whatever reason. I would like the .orgs view before I order and take the salesman's view as gospel. Thanks |

Re: spring weight help
9,0 might feel a bit too heavy, especially if you leave the stock rear spring.
i'm 200lbs and wish i'd gone for 8,5 as the preload dajusters are fully out at correct sag (though it might be that i cut the spacers too long ) |

Re: spring weight help
thanks,
I have the GSXR rear to go on as well so not leaving the rear stock. I guess .85 is a big step up from the .65 or whatever is in there so I will see what they say on the phone today |

Re: spring weight help
I'm 175lb and have been advised .85 by the org's resident suspension guru.
