Default I have 650/750

I can't compare them to 600/700 but they aren't as stiff as the number might suggest. Actually, I planned on 600/700 but they were out of stock at the time. No big deal. I'm happy with them and can't wait to get some track time.

Default I have 550f/600r+rear swaybar and love it. You should be fine with 600f/700r...

...if you're more concerned with ride.

700f/800r is a good compromise IMO. Not too annoying on the streat, great performance on the track!

Default 650/800 here. 600/ 700 - 700/800 range seems to work well for most.

you should contact stasis directly- they'll help you choose the setup that fits your needs the best.

Default Have you taken care of your fender issues yet Dave?

If so, any new feedback on the Öhlins? Have you played with the various setting yet to see how much variability you can get with them?

Thanx.

Default Are people running a stock rear sway bar with 700/800?

I'm using a neuspeed set on soft and i'm thinking of just going back to stock because of street drivability. It just seems unnecessary...

Any suggestions?

Default yep, problem solved

I put the stock wheels back on for the winter. No more rubbing in the front.. I haven't had much spare time lately due to things being busy at work. It finally eased up so this weekend will be my first off work in several months. Needless to say, I plan on doing car stuff all weekend!
