thanks tho
no prob blurr... the sustec pro ss is nice. it has adjustable damping as well. front spring rate is at 6kg (13.23lbs) and rears are 4kg (8.82lbs). front has 1-4 setting and rear has 1-8 setting. optional springs can also be purchased, which is stiffer than the original ones by 20-30%. i've tried different settings... thus far... the suggested setting of front 2/ rear 4 is really stiff. i've also tried F2/R3 and it's better, but now i have F1/R2 which i think rear is a bit soft... it slides when i corner hard... so i will try F1/R3 next time. anyway, all in all, both tiens, tanabe, JIC, and other brand are well built. as for the JIC.. they have parts for you to rebuild if you should ever need to do an overhaul on the suspensions. as for tanabe... they don't do overhaul... therefore, they replace it for you at the same price you purchased it. so that's a added bonus. but regardless... tiens or tanabe, or jic... you will be happy. just make sure you got adjustable damping... it's handy.
