If I opted to change back to stock springs in my forks after installing the Intiminators. How can this product compensate for a lower spring rate?
It’s always best to use the softest spring you can get away with. Take into consideration the static load needs, riding double, luggage, external preload adjuster and how it affects ride height. You can make the shock switch circuits in a dynamic event, you can’t do that with a spring. In other words, it’s best to get the firm, stable ride with the shock, not the spring. You can get all the brake dive resistance you need with the high shock resistance at low shock velocity. With a softer spring and a shock that switches between circuits, the ‘tire force variation’ is lower and the traction is higher over rough surfaces. Our off road race shocks provide many times the ‘transition resistance’ compared to other shock mfg’s. The cars respond well to dropping the spring rate when the shock controls the ‘roll rate’.
