This sort of topic has been discussed over and over in one way or another, so forgive me, but I am after a specific answer …

Ok, I have too curvys, without going through the whole story I have ended up with 2 front end/fork setups, both of which I have used on the road at some point. I have a set of totally standard forks. I also have a set with Racetch 80 springs and Racetech emulators in (with 15w oil). The racetech forks are so much better (confidence inspiring) than the stock forks.

I am a bit tight, so don’t really want to put my hand in my pocket for the £200 odd that it would cost to get the racetech bits for my road forks.

So I could just get some springs, if I was to just the springs then which are the best make to go for (Ohlins, Racetech etc)??? And how much difference do the emulators make??? i.e. is it mostly the springs that make the biggest difference?

So, in summery:-
1.Is it the springs or emulators that make the big difference?
2.What are the best manufacturer for just springs (low price being a desirable factor).
3.Has anyone done a back to back test with and without emulators?
