Default Progressive suspension is awesome!!

I just got done testing out my new suspension, and man what a difference! I can fly into corners and it will not "Dive". It also sits up really high in the front now, and when i put my glacier plow on it barely made the front end squat![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

please clarify your new suspension system for a couple of reasons. 1) cbmboy is considerring new front struts and has managed to re-ignite my curiosity regarding making scrambler suspension perform better. 2) "progressive suspension" can mean 2 things, for one it's a brand name, but in reality it is a type of suspension system which typically mounts two or more springs,with increasing stiffness, thus making your travel progressive. (this is often referred to as progressive rate suspension.) Anyway, what exactly did you buy? the dual rate progressive springs (which i think came from hot seat?) or progressive suspension brand struts? or something else?

Other question: you mentioned that you can fly into corners without the dive, on scramblers another common problem (i've found) is the inside rear tire picking up in hard, tight corners if you don't slide, does this solve that also? if so how much were they?! i may need a pair! thanks!

Progressive suspension is the name of the company. The preload is 85-115 and is fully adjustable. it should solve your dive problem.
