I did springs first, then Ricor 2 yrs later, springs are cheaper, both easy install. The springs were a noticeable improvement, the addition of the Ricors was even better. If money is tight do springs first. JMO.

If you were looking to DRASTICALLY improve the front end suspension
Well, that's sort of what I'm leading to. Money is tight and I want to do the best mod for the money. Front springs are about $90. Ricors are a bit more, but if they will drastically improve the stock springs, I'd opt for that instead of the springs.
I should just buy both and get it done.

If your current springs are holding up your bike when you sit on it, it is unlikely you will change your springs after the IAS valve install and even less likely you will return the INTIMINATORS. I don't think you can return your springs for a full refund... but I could be wrong!!
Riders have been testing/changing springs for years with both good and bad results depending on how good they are in ordering the correct springs for what they are trying to accomplish.
If you are not lowering or raising your ride height, want a very noticeable difference (drastic is a pretty broad word, and some customers have used it
) in your bike's handling, with a money back guarantee, save some $$ and try the IAS valve first with your existing springs.Of coursed I voted and I am not biased either

Start with the Ricor IAS valves... if you don't think they make a drastic improvement to your ride you can pull em out, and send them back for a full refund.
