Anyone know the difference in outside diameter of the Slim spring and the standard spring? I believe the standard is close to 2.8", but I couldn't find that info on the Slim spring.

Slimline: 2 1/8"
Wideline/Standard: 2 3/8"
Nitro: 3"

Also, the Wideline/Standard spring isn't a constant diameter, it is the same dia. as the Slimline at the ends of the spring and is widest in the middle. I was given this info directly from Hagon.

Well I jumped the gun and ordered 13" (330mm) 2810s last week and they're supposed to deliver today (already! I love when parts come in fast. ). I'll take some good before/after pics, give all the specs for the shocks, and post a little review on here for anyone interested (blueangel).
Any update? Looking forward to hearing what you think about them.

Thanks for the the reminder. lol
So yea I got them installed and I love them. The ride doesn't feel terribly different (I still have the stock front end too), but the additional height in the rear is awesome. Not sure if its a placebo effect, but it does seem to respond to steering inputs much quicker...due to reduced trail(?). I should say that I haven't hit any rough roads on em yet tho. Maybe I should go seek some out so I can really see if there's a difference.
The quality of them seems great too...granted I've never even physically seen Works, Ohlins, Ricor, or Progressive shocks to draw a comparison. With that in mind, I'm still very satisfied with them. The ONLY thing I haven't liked so far, which I've heard plenty about before, is the shitty Hagon sticker they slap on them. lol It looks cheesy and it wasn't even aligned on them. Took them off the second I saw them.

Thanks for the review, The bike looks awesome. I'm pretty much sold on those in 13". When I get em I'll also right a review and let you guys know what I think.
