I switched from Fox to Ohlins (36PR1C1LB) and in addition had mine completely chromed - which Howard took care of for me and showed me pictures as they were took apart and then after re-assembly.
I've noticed the difference in the rear as I am not getting bounced on some usual bumps in the road I go over - it actually soaks up those bumps. Very happy.
Talk to Howard @ Motorcycle Metal. He can give you insight with the information you provide him, and in turn, it helps you under suspension a bit better. Customer service was excellent.
Oh, and one other thing that will help out your suspension - and not being an a$$, but losing some weight would help.
Good luck.

Call Howard at Motorcycle Metal. I think may cost a few hundred more but they will be worth it. http://www.motorcyclemetal.com/contact.html
