Hi

Got a set of hyperpro springs in my rap
and after playing with the preload a bit and oil level they work VERY well for me !
that is for everyday commuting and some trackdays

What rate oil did you go for?
And also. How big a job is changing the springs and oil??

Hi

Not a lot of work,did it in 2 or 3 hours checking myself twice (3!) times! :D
I used 10w oil, that's what comes with the hyperpro kit!
got the static sag set at 25 mm using the nut under the fork top
and air gap set at 145 mm
