[urq] Suspension mods sequel

[Todd Phenneger]

Ahh,
That makes more sense.  But given the similarities between the Fr/R HD's, And that swapping them around is fine, I would guess you could also run the Rear Sports up front. I would assume that if they had made a Sport for the front it would have followed the same theme with slightly more travel up front.  SO alternative options would be
1) By 2-sets rears.  Send the Fronts into Bilstein to get the valving stiffened up a bit (Front springs are stiffer) and reduce the extended Bump Stop thickness to get some travel back.

2) Run 91' CQ Sports up front with a reducer bushing in place to make it fit.  Its 30mm and not 36mm.   I'd want to see the specs on that shock for Valving and travel though before I'd recommend it, its just an option.

3) Run S4/200 Front Sports with Mance's custom upper strut mount.  Problem here is that it MIGHT have to much extension allowing the Springs to Un-Seat.  Again, you'd have to check the numbers.  I know it works with longer springs, but not sure about shorter springs like H&R or Eibach.

:-)  Vroom...
