Cheers for the comments. Glad you like the suspension.

The STD R5-C as mentioned before has been revalved and altered for lesser spring rates. (8kgmm front and 6kgmm rear).

Below are pics of the rear STD Coilvers R5C versus the standard strut.


We have increased the travel of the shock, reduced the spring rate to 6kgmm and altered the linear valving in the monotube to slightly less gradual.

1) Reducing the rate of the spring, adds more comfort to your ride.

2) Increasing the length of the spring, allows the spring to sit lower, reducing of the Centre of Gravity of each individual shock monotube, while reducing the agressiveness of the ride.
Note: The ride can be adjusted more agressively through the top damper adjustment with the new monotube valving.

3) Linear valving is still used for good response but the gradiant is increased slightly to add more comfort. This gradient can be adjusted back down with the new monotube valving as well.
