F4i suspension upgrade options...what to do?

Curious about this question..

What steps have you taken to improve your F4i suspension & advice as to where to go, what to buy & how much you had to pay to do it.

So .... what did you do?

i went with race tech springs, they cost about 110 i think, i redid the fork seals and added the same weight oil. i still need to do the rear shock.
i got the .95 springs since i weight 175 without leathers, with the stock oil 10 weight i think, i have no need for compression, what i want to do in the future is possibly re valve the rebound and compression.
because with that stiff of springs they aren't truly working as intended, i may switch to a different weight oil first. i think i may have some adjustment on the rebound so a lighter oil can give me some play with compression.
a good start is to get new springs, racetech has a calculator on their website for your weight and intended purpose of the bike.
rear shocks are going to be stupid expensive to replace so im hoping the stock ones can be rebuilt.
