Hello All
I have '09 Nytro XTX. I installed Titanium torsion springs Dec '19. Those seem to function as advertised. Much nicer ride, smoother, definitely better. Until I blew out the original OEM center shock. Got that covered.
While exploring options and looking for info on Totally 4 stroke happened upon a thread from 2011,etc. So I started looking at some of the suggestions. Particularly the offerings by Star Suspension of Quebec. But that was 2011.
Hence the question. Would you do it again? Any alternatives?
Or as one former Yamaha dealer quipped to me, "Can't make a silk Purse out of a sow's era?

I don’t have a bad thing to say about Star, ran one in my Apex XTX for years. Have a couple of buddies who ride Nytros with it as well and have had the same experience. I wish Robert would advertise here in the site.

Get the STAR Kit...best mod for my 09 XTX. Makes long days soo much better after the trails are whooped up. Stutter bumps are pretty much a thing of the past now. Basic install...

I'm not familiar with the Titanium torsion springs. could you elaborate? I have the Star kit, Hygear spacers and had them go through my shocks, including the billet body for the rear shock.
