[Paul the 6th]

lol I've prolly dropped him right in it now. He's always given me sterling advice and I've probably made it sound like he's told me exactly what I should and shouldn't go for. YC just explained the difference and I said something along the lines of "oh so progressives are generally better for everyday riding like I do then?".

I don't take every single thing he says as gospel. Just most of it :Razz: I've emailed hagon, maxton & hyperpro to ask them what products they can recommend and at what prices... dingle tweeks got back to me as well:

Hi Paul,

Both types of springs are uprated but the Hyperpro are progressive wheras Ohlins are more likely to be linear. Neither manufacturer gives a choice of spring rate, but both willsuit you better than the original springs. I personally would favour the Hyperpro as it comes as a kit complete with oil and a full set up guide. (and they just so happen to cost a hundred quid)

I'll see what the big 3 say to my email
