Lowering springs alone is going to be a little bouncy because the dampening of the stock strut and shock can't keep up. I had arospeeds I'm not sure the spring rate but it was right on the border of stock dampening capability. 1-1/2 inch drop all around. I have T1Rs spring and damper now and I'm pretty impressed how balanced the dampening is soft at the lower numbers and stiff on the upper numbers keeping the rebound from the bouncies all the way through. BTW the T1R springs twice as stiff as stock.

You can throw it the cart and see, remember it's in Canadian so you have to google it to american dollars. Mine came out about 230 for shipping the spring and dampers and 200 for just the dampers so I got both.

Anyone want to buy Arospeed springs? haha

i forget what stock was like already. but with skunk coils i get a really heinous bounce at about 18mph. if you go with higher spring rate you will get a stiffer ride, same with dampening. skunk coils come with 8k/6k and my opinion is that its a little on the stiff side. if you want it to be as close to stock as possible i would look for something around 3-5k.

i forgot what stock feels like too...

yeah the GF210 is stiffer spring rate so the ride is bouncier. but i think cutting the bump stops help.

im also on the T1R dampers and springs combo. i've had it since last november. the ride is awesome.
