Does anyone know if the progressive suspension front springs will work in a 07 model. It only shows 89-02 and i wanna be sure they will work before i order them.

I just swapped my forks on my 05 for a set from an 04 with the progressive springs in them. so I am going to assume the forks 01-07 are the same

lets see what others think

Check out race techs too, a little more spendy but if you start getting serious about riding you will love them more than progressives

SonicSprings.com -- they are cheaper, straight rate springs.

Which spring on the sonicspring site is the best for a more aggressive rider? I am assuming the higher the kg/mm means a stronger spring?

You can get racetech springs for 79.99 at indysuperbikes.com

They have a spring rate calculator on the racetech site to figure out the spring rate

I was checking out that site, which of the three would be the best for normal street riding.

the racetech springs at indysuperbikes.com are for 89-99. Did suzuki change anything or is this just what the manufacture of the springs knows that they fit? Are springs from 89-07 interchangeable?
