Message: [QUOTE="mbh84, post: 1522974, member: 30338"] It is a whole different ride. I highly suggest before you spend the cash on a new set give it a shot. The biggest difference comes from changing the bleed. At first I was having it shake/jitter in the rear after the slightest imperfection in the road (such as a recessed sewer cap) so I closed off the bleed in the rear shocks, thinking is needed more resistance...bad idea rode worse. Come to find out the jitter was coming from a bad wear band. I noticed only because I had accidentally swapped it when I had them both opened and after putting them back together noticed it coming from the opposite side and that was the only thing different, from one side to the other. If you have too much bleed or not enough compression dampening up front it will feel loose and hard to control. You can add more free bleed in the rear(which I recommend)to counter it, and it will actually put more control up front and/or go down a drill bit size or 2. I just finished adding another 1/16 bleed hole in the rear because I felt my compression stack coming into play a little earlier than the front and would pitch the rear up coming out of slow dips and smooth bumps. Small test drive felt a lil plusher although it had some hard spikes on what seemed like a smooth road but I like to give it a few days to really get a feel of how it’s working. May open it up the rear bleed a little more. I’m not sure if it makes a difference having 2 of the same size bleed holes vs having one larger than the other. My thinking(could be wrong here) is it’s like pipe you get more velocity from a 4” pipe compared to 2 2” pipes. Something to do with less drag from pipe surface. Being these shocks are velocity sensitive I figured I’d get the best flow from the larger hole. So in the rear right now I have a total bleed of .1719 going by the yellow chart above.
