hey but check it mang...their spring rating is actually a bit less than...say...ohlins.
i went with .85 up front, which is for a 165, but know that full gear, you'll be more...but it's plenty stiff for me so it's all good.

You might seriously consider other sources like Aftershocks, GP Suspension, Lindemen, Traxxion Dynamics, etc. These folks tend to handle better products and/or more actual racecraft knowledge.

Cheers
