-Check Valve Design - RPS will enhance your damping by utilizing check plate configurations developed on the racetrack. This includes over a dozen track records in the last two years.
-Machined Piston Surface - Every RPS Supersport Vavle Kit v2.0 will have the pistons machine to RPS specifications to meet your performance needs.
-Air Spring Rate - RPS will ensure that you are not constantly "bottoming out" and upsetting your motorcycle's geometry and race track performance by independently setting your fork's Air Spring Rate independently.
-Spring Rate - RPS will ensure you have a spring weight that accounts for the nuances of your motorcycle. This includes addressing radial mount brakes and rider weight.
-Silkolene RSF Fork Oil - Silkolene RSF Fork Oils provide the most consistent performance of any fork oil RPS has used. The RSF product tier is the best Silkolene can provide. It costs more, buy your forks are worth it!

i have a penske on my F4i...it's MUCH better than stock...rides smooth...like butter...
you'll love it!
as far as fork rebuilds...$400 is about the norm, but i would go with other shops instead since it seems these guys use their own stuff which i haven't ever heard of.

Thanks Tahue !
Why did you choose the Penske ? I thought Ohlins has got a "better name", and I feel going for a Penske is a bit "out of the main stream" ?
I did read somewhere that the "hard compression, soft compression" adjustmet on the Ohlins in almost non existant....
Where did you get your shock, and how much did you pay for it?
Thanks, Eyal.
