    another thing to help with it bouncing around is going thicker on the rebound side(if you still want to change even more). thats what im going to be doing since i decided to keep my 600 lb spring.

    I'm curious what your email to him looked like.

    Just to clarify, I don't think its a bad kit. I just don't think its capable of handling like the other kits its equally spoken about. I bought the kit thinking it would handle like a dmz or 50T setup which it definitely doesn't. (Partially my mistake for taking defined's word for it without talking to other companies).
    Its a good mid travel kit in my opinion.

    Anthony, sell your kit and just move on:)

    I agree with this. I was unaware that the kit is designed for a 14" shock, didn't know this until Mike told me (Not on there website description). That's what makes tuning so hard for us that have 16" shocks.

    I plan on giving it a few more months to get tuning and if it doesn't get to where I think it should be I will get some f70's.
