theyre WAYYYY too hard 
is there an in-betweeny medium spring not designed for 2 big heavy blokes but for people like me that weigh 11st.???
it bounces all over the shop on bumpy roads. i have a bitubo on the front and even on its hardest settings its soft compared to the rear.
the standard ones are too soft as well.
does anyone make a medium strength spring?

Indeed we do need a medium spring really, standard ones are alright when new but are designed for comfort so on the soft side, but yes the aftermarket ones are just amazingly hard and although it might help interference with the exhaust and bodywork, it does nothing for the machines handling as its far too oversprung, and with standard shocks this also means massively under damped...
Ideally you need some adjustable ones. |

| Yeah but also expensive, we need a more "GTS250" based spring in a more useable strength still, as an option for people with a little less money to splash out. |

yeah 200 quid for bitubo's is a stupidly high price.
i wish sebac would make something thats abit cheaper.
thatd mean me spending 310 quid on suspension alone.....
its less expensive to run a car to be honest.
