Re: [ST] Hyperpro Fork and Shock Springs

[Colt45 <colt4530@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The factory springs are progressive rate; I'd spend my money elsewhere.

I put Race Tech constant rate springs in my front forks.  They are 
fantastic.  Most brake dive is gone and I have excellent stability 
without harshness.  Harshness comes from the damping, not the spring.  
It was a very easy change.  The hardest part was lifting the front wheel 
off of the floor.  I have not needed to change the damping fluid.  It 
matches a 1.0 kg/mm spring nicely.  If you can cut the stock spring (or 
have it done) you can cut off the close coils and have roughly a 1.0 
spring (or a little more) for little $$$.  You will need to make a 
spacer from tubing to take up the space the close coils occupied.
