so i'm thinking about getting new springs for my forks and rear. i had defan tune my suspension last time i was at beaver. i would've gone up to wcw but i just didn't have time to make the 2.5 hr trek up there from my house in south bumble fack jersey. anyways, defan tells me that i should consider getting my springs and valves done because my current setup is as good as it's gonna get. i dunno, it seemed ok to me.
honestly, i'm not sure i noticed much of a difference even after he did his thing with my bike. the suspension was previously tuned by wcw about 1 year prior. that time, i noticed a big difference, esp while cornering. so defan recommends new springs and valves which will cost me about 600.
but, i've got a local friend who's says he'll put on new racetech front springs and rear shock for 300 total, including all labor. seems like a great deal to me, but i wonder if i really need it. how do i know for sure? what are the signs for doing something like this upgrade?
i don't doubt that either of these mods will improve my bike's handling, but will it be so much that i'll notice a difference?
what are some signs i should be noticing to know i should seriously consider new springs or new springs/valves?
if it's not going to make much difference, i'd rather spend that 300 on a couple more trackdays or a new set of tires, which i'm going to need soon.
hopefully some of you experienced track junkies can help me clear some of this up. help!!!
new springs and valves?
