Default replacement coils/shocks for 06 grizz 660?

Hello,
Got an 06 660 grizzly. Recently it seems like my front end is really soft. I made a turn few weeks ago i would normally feel comfortable with and rolled my quad, 80km/hr on a pretty wide turn. Suspension went right down, then when no more suspension travel, she bites in and over i go. Pretty bruised up from that one, lol. Then just the other day i barely had any speed and was turning around and felt like all weight transfered to one side more than normal and wanted to tip. Quad has 1800km's on it, 27x12x12 mudlites front and rear, everything else stock. Got my coils turned all the way front and back. Should i order stiffer springs? More shocks? Both? thanks

have u checked the air pressure in the tires? my 07 grizz 700fi eps will do the same thing when the front tire pressure is low. i like to keep 6-7 psi on the front. i find it to handle the best at these pressures

stroker, i agree, i had same issue on my 700, it was terrible. just pumped them up before last ride, what a difference. as for the highlifter coils, i put them on my 660 and it was one of the best things i ever did, got a little height out of the bike and a lot better ride. had for 4 brutal years.
