progressive front springs for apex

[X-APE]

Does anyone know of progressive springs or even softer springs up front that I could use on my GT. I'm finding the front end un-necessarily stiff even with the clickers softened up. I can slam the front down pretty hard and it wont bottom. I have the springs set full loose with the front elevated, and I have the rebound and comp full soft. Anyone else notice its hard to bottom the front end? Not for stand slamming moguls, I'm talking up to moderate sat afternoon type bumps.

You do NOT want progressive springs on there!!! Worst move you could do. 03RX came with progressive springs up front, and that was 99% of the cause of excessive body roll in corners.

I agree!!!

Is there a problem with the sway bar? The sway bar is supposed to control body roll, not stiff springs. hello?

Actually both control the handling of the sled..

A weak spring will cause easier compression and let the sled lean over in the corners..

Why do you want it to bottom... Im glad it doesnt.. it is just harder on the sled!

Actually, I'm looking for more compliance over regular bumps. The front should bottom on the biggest stuff that you would only occasionally see, if not, your sacrificing small bump and stutter bump compliance which you ride 99.9% of the time.. The rear soaks up the small to mid junk but the front is just way too firm.

ohlins or gyt must have some different rate springs for the front, no?
