"looking for the best "bang for my buck" upgrade for my front suspension"

I'm sure the Ricor setup is superior but I have to say that $79 for Progressive brand front springs was the single best bang-for-buck mod I ever made, it's as simple as withdrawing the old and dropping in the new. The Progressive brand is the same length so no need to cut new preload spacers. You can do a more thorough job by pumping out and replacing the old oil (and you probably should) but you can do the entire job in 15 minutes and the upgrade is remarkable.
This in no way disses what is reported as the superior performance of the Ricor, it's just that you said bang-for-buck. At least $100 less and maybe more.


A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
