Questions... 1 front fork damper valves.. this looks like a good upgrade ..... is it ?
2 which progressive spings to get and which spacers to fit if at all,??
3 are the old forks rebuilt with the upgrades have any adjustment such as rebound as well as the damping adjustment ....or ... is best to leave it to the experts and send the forks away to be done .......
To all the suspension Gods I await your advise and wisdom

If you're going with emulator valves, you do not want progressive springs. Progressive springs are a one size fits all thing. Get straight rate springs from a vendor that know how and will provide you with the proper rate. Progressive springs might improve your stock forks, but I'm not a fan. Emulator valves and progressive springs is mixing technologies. The results are far less than desirable.

Do it right and it will rock your world!

Race-Tech emulators are adjustable, but once dialed in, you leave them alone. Getting the correct springs is very important, and progressive springs with the valves is a huge mistake.
