Thanks in part to Mitch (BIG part), I now have a set of
LG Super Spring. These things are hard to come by and Mitch led me to the guys post the same day.......and now the deal is done - sitting in the garage.
Can't wait to get them on; needing more spring rate up front.

Thanks again Mitch (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif)

The 1LEs are progressive (130~180?) and hard to find. The ST springs are about 160 linear, but may ride a little too low. It also doesn't really make $ense to buy two non-adjustable sets to use two springs out of each set.

If you aren't going to use the G2 rears (and I'm not saying they won't work) I'd just go straight to the [rear] GC setup plus linears.

There are several key things to keep in mind about progressive springs. One is that it's arguably harder to match the shock valving to the spring if the rate isn't linear. The other is that they get softer as they are extended (yeah, I know - duh!), which means they let the tail rise more while braking, which means more roll steer. That means the soft number DOES matter.

The soft end of the G2 rear spring rate progression is stiffer than the soft end of the 1LE springs. In other words, they don't get as soft as they extend, which may be good.

The debateable question is whether they get too stiff at the stiff end of the travel (fully compressed).

It should be noted that I have changed my rear suspension geometry, which means the best rate for me may not be the best rate for you.

If you buy the G2s and don't already have rear adjusters, you might as well try the rears and see how you like them.
