[QUOTE="fatty_k, post: 392944, member: 23995"] I know there have been threads on both of these springs, but not together (or none that I found.) My local Honda shop priced out 2002 XR 400 springs at around $120 (all prices from now on are in Canadian funds) which are rated at .41kg/mm, according to Matt90GT ( [url]http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14613[/url] ). I have heard from members on this forum (canyncarvr) that the XR 400 springs really work well with 8-10mm, or no preload at all. FRP .39's springs are only $93 before shipping and taxes, and I have read these also work well with stock preload. I have also read that aftermarket springs collapse after a while. So my question to you guys is what are the pros and cons of each spring? I weigh around 190 with riding gear and I want my forks to ride higher in the stroke because as of now (stock springs I belive, another question to follow) my forks sag a lot and I am only using maybe the last half of the forks travel. One more question: I measured my current springs and they turned out to measure out at somehting like 20mm longer than what it states in the manual for stock springs. Is it possible I have aftermarket springs already? I have no way of contacting the previous owner of my bike as I think he moved. I looked all over the springs and couldnt find any markings of any type. I know there is a lot of questions, but I am just trying to get my forks set up properly and its kind of hard if your a suspension newbie such as myself. :cool: Thanks to everyone who responds.
