Message: [QUOTE="Deznut, post: 26852, member: 19735"] At 230 lbs you will definitely benefit from new springs. In order to get even close to the right amount of sag, you will have to use way too much preload which results in you using more of the stiffer part of the spring. (It's progressive) I know it sounds funny, but putting on a stiffer spring will actually give you a softer ride when the sag is adjusted right. I am 215 lbs and I went with a "straight rate spring" instead of the progressive. I have read many differing opinions on whether the progressive springs are better or not. the straight rate springs are significantly less expensive and mine is working good for me. I think the rear was a 8.3 and the fork springs we .43's. ------------------ [/QUOTE]
