[ST] Source for Ohlins front fork springs?

Hi Garry,

Can anyone recommend a good source for Ohlins fork springs for my 2002
Sprint RS? I'm cheaping out and going Ohlins springs plus new oil rather
than the full-blown RaceTech route.

I did the same thing (also put in Ohlins rear shock) on my 2000 RS. First
went for just the spring and a (heavier than stock) fork oil change, but
wasn't happy with performance improvement.

Then decided to have the forks revalved and setup by a suspension
specialist to match the compression/rebound performance with the spring.
They also set it for my weight and riding preference (we went through a
'questionnaire' to get the right info that the guy needed).

The spring/valve work on the front also helped to balance the front and
rear suspension performance. The valve job cost me around $500 Aussie
dollars and was really worth it. The RS feels incredibly alive and
responsive on the road, and the feedback is light years ahead of the stock
suspension.

So, spend a little extra, and get the valving done when you get your
springs put in.

Cheers,

Mark Jones
