Default What do you make of this?

Hi lads and ladies was just wandering if this is worth getting as im changing my stock springs for progressive springs and has anyone got these and what they like? They seem very good value and is that all you need? Also would like to fit preloaders on.

Also would like to do the rear what do i need as this works with the stock rear shock?

Thanks

Ash

The fork springs are alright, as for the shock spring I wouldn't bother, the stock shock is still naff.

Be cheaper to fit a ZXR shock

i got full adjustable hyperpro setup on the rear is awesome in my opinion but then again it was fitted to the bike when i bought it so i wouldnt know what a stock setup handles like. my bike is awesome on the roads and roundabouts with it.

You won't get anything to compare to a full bespoke shock like the hyperpro or ohlins units without paying their prices.

As Chris said, its the rear shock thats the problem not the spring! The fork springs are very good, work with all Curvys (inc preload adjuster ones)!
