Can anyone tell me if the FRP fork springs are long "XR" type springs, or are they the same length as stock KDX springs? If they are long like XR springs, that might help explain why Jeff recommends 0.40 rate springs for 210 lb rider while Race Tech recommends 0.46 rate springs for the same rider. According to Jeff, a 240 lb rider needs the 0.42's. Big difference in recommendations!
I want to buy parts this week but I can't decide what rate springs I want to buy. Basically, I just want to balance out the fork springs with the stock shock spring. I have not had a chance to try setting sag with the stock shock spring yet, so maybe that would help, but I know if it needs to be changed, I need to jump from 5.0 stock to a 5.2.
But still, someone should be able to answer the question: What fork springs are a good match for the 5.0 shock spring?
Someone please help!
Thanks for your time,
