[QUOTE="LittleWhiteWagon, post: 1064631778, member: 82139"] Thanks Iszo! Lurking around I guess, there's a lot of things I don't really know/haven't experienced so I just take in more than put out haha. There are 7kg/mm springs! But I don't know if they have them locally. I'm having the same problem as you now where my springs rebound faster than my shocks. Gotta save up for revalving haha.[COLOR="Silver"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 04:30 AM ---------- 6 hour anti-bump limit - Previous post was at 04:11 AM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] Hey no worries man, I try my best haha. The thing about suspension, besides the theory it's hard to explain by words on how a car feels. The best is always a drive. In theory, yes, it doesn't perform as good as the BR. If you go around on the internet looking for BC V1 suspension dynos, you can see at lower clicks the frequency is pretty large and it doesn't settle quickly, whereas when it's overly stiffened, it doesn't absorb much at all.
