Jake - AVO springs are great, cant recommend enough! vast improvement in the boat like handling to something that actually feels like its can go round corners.
the ride isnt hard/stiff.....but what i like to call "firm" - ie feel the big bumps but not uncomfortable

welshdude - i plan to get some skirts on in the new year!!

(apologuies for diggin this up, pc trouble can you help?

It's all about a compromise between ride comfort and performance though, and not just looks

I aggre with mather there is still quite a big gap there, could go a wee bit lower still, and lets be honest its only a 12v sothe performance side of things aint gonna be to big an issue
