I have racetech springs my RK and EG. With gold vales in the RK and Ricors in the EG. Both are very good but the fabrik8 Ricors are better. Way better than progressive springs I had in my old RK or progressives & gold valves in my old RG.

I have Race Tech springs and fabrik8r's Intiminators, but bike is in bits for other work, so have yet to ride it. I have RT springs and Emulators in my Sporty and while the ride height is improved, the Emulators do nothing for the ride. They may be adjustable, but the instructions might as well be in Chinese!

I'm running the Progressive Mono Tube Cartridge Lowered 1" Kit. Major improvement, no brake dive at all and tracks around turns will little wobble.
