Stendori.......
I'm not sure exactly how much gain you will get for you 800 but these springs say they meet or exceed OEM standards.....A friend of mine put them on his 700 and said they greatly improved handling especially when cornering, you don't get that front end dip.....They do list springs for your 800 as the same # as the 700's so I'm not sure......These are probably gonna be my next mod...

Stendori, I bought the scrambler springs to put on the front like I did on my older SP. They make no difference like they did before. The 800's are taller than the older SP.

What I did though was this. I replaced the rear springs with Ranger springs and put stock rear springs in the front. I had to flip them upside down and make a new spring cup for the top, because the spring is too large in overall diameter, to use the original gold colored factory cup.

I love the feel. Very nice. One thing though, the shocks do not want to go all the way down into the strut housing, so I tightened them up where they sat(about an inch higher).

With that done and 27" Mudzilla's, I am 1/2 inch away from sliding a 5 gal. bucket under my quad. I rode 27 miles on my last trip and loved the ride. The axle angle is not enough to bother me. The camber is slightly affected, though.

I figure it this way. If my quad is going to break, even when it was nearly stock, Why not do what I want to it, have fun and love the thing!
