[QUOTE="Shaw520, post: 95766, member: 18459"] I found this to be true, more so with bigger guys. If you are heavy enough to compress the suspension past race sag specs, (95mm) or 3.5", (indicated by checking race sag), then you are most likely riding in the more harsh section of the stroke, which will result in the loss of plushness found at the top of the stroke. Myself, 6'-1" 280#s, agressive B class, was recomended to use .50's in the front and 9.6 in the rear, which I initially thought would be waaaaay too stiff. To my surprise, these rates work extremly well for my weight, and even felt more plush on trail junk, [b]with[/b] greater bottoming resistance. I found I could take bigger whoops more agressively, better landings on jumps, and still plenty plush for woods junk. The front end seems to bite better with alot less wash. Try going stiffer, very important to get race sag @ 95mm. Good Luck Montana, You're pushing 200#s, If you are an agressive rider, you will definatly benefit from a "stiffer than stock" spring rate.
