- My suggestions are as follows:
-
- Tokiko Illumina shocks and Neuspeed springs.
- OR
- (I think) Sachs Turbo shocks and Neuspeed springs.
-
- The Illuminas will cost $$$ but are supposedly worth it and the Sachs are
- inexpensive but are supposed to give a good ride that is not too harsh.
-
- I am NOT speaking from experience when I recomment shocks. I do have the
- Neuspeed progressive springs and I love them.
-
- Anyone care to comment?
