Default Update: Polaris HD Front Springs

Got to try them out this past weekend. Overall, an improvement. More control. less leaning side to side, and front to back when braking or accelerating. Machine is more stable at speed. There is more feedback at the handlebars, sharper, but it is not bad. Put rears on 2nd stiffest setting, stock springs. We took kids this weekend, so a lot of slow riding. Twice took off by myself for some faster/harder trails. I like the control and handling better, not that stock was bad, just d@mn soft! Not hard to change them back out if necessary for cush time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them if stock is too soft. Take care.

hopefully they will last longer and not start sagging on ya. i read somewhere a guy put them on and w/in 300 miles it had sagged a 1/2". this is my main reason i tried the spacers which gave me the same results as the heavier springs. but glad they worked out for ya. maybe post the pn#'s and the cost of them for people would be great.

Sorry guys, part # here at work. $ was $30 a piece on springs, shipping was $10. $70 to my door. PN is 2876153-Polaris HD front spring kit. They are 128#. Raised front almost 2" over stock. Got them from Breese Lawn & Garden, a Polaris dealer on E-Bay. Got phone # here somewhere if anyone needs it.

I wasn't necessarily after the lift, kind of a bonus. Have stock-height tires. Wanted to get rid of boat effect. Had front bottom out once or twice also. Right now, front sits a tad higher than back. Hmmm....MV springs? I imagine fronts will sag a bit as they wear in, hopefully not 1/2 inch in 300 miles! LOL

Bombaman-yes, $30 a piece, thought was a good price, although I did buy machine there, don't think I got special $.

Jayri-what did those MV springs do for rear?
