Nice - very nice. To my tastes the ride height is perfect and it sounds like it rides and handles great too. Good job.

Thanks guys! Like i told a few people, i have the handling that you would expect from a coilover suspension, but better drivability.

This is pretty much the exact setup that I'm running on my SVTF. Only dif is I opted for the steeda 28.6 mm sway bar w/ the hnr adjustable one up front. This setup is banging tho, have fun in those corners!

Springs are the only draw back - to soft.
If they made higher rate springs in that height they would be money! Same set up I use to have but w/ big rear bar. I find my racelands to be similar

Well i looked over were it rubs, and im sure the fender isnt in great condition, its been banged up before and the lip isnt straight, but when i say it rubs, i mean when i take a hard right turn haha. Or a big bump of dip in the road

Roll the fenders then? That would likely remove the issue.
