Default Progressive Suspension for P650s?

I do not jump or constantly ride hard. I really want a plusher ride. The P650 front spring rate is not adjustable. I would like to soften mine up a little. I would like to hear about the characteristics of the Progressive Suspension spring kit for P650s. How do you have them adjusted? Are they more bumpy at 0-to 20 mph?
Thanks,

I really don't think that you will get a plusher ride. What you WILL get is: rid of the nose dive on hard braking. You will be rid of the P-650 "push" on moderate to hard cornering. IMO the Progressive kit is well worth the money. I left mine set on mid-range. They could have stood to be unloaded a little more, though. I ride fast trails in the Appalachian Mtns. of WVa.(Hat/McCoy).

I love my PS's, but the ride will be SLIGHTLY rougher than stock.

I think it really helps people (like yourself) with winches most of all, If your going down a very steep incline, it will prevent your front end from taking a nose dive when you get on the brakes.

The ride is not more plush, its a more sturdy and stable ride.
