For higher, where do I position lower spring perch spring I thought I knew what I was doing ( fatal character flaw) If it is already in correct position how can I increase height Thanks in advance for help Terry |

The top groove will give you a very stiff, very hard, very rough ride. I run mine on the bottom groove for street use, and up one or two for track use

If your ride comfort is changing, you shocks ma be bad or the dynamic between front and rear shocks is changing due to ride height. |

Two year old bils all around. Shocks are good. Not an expert on dynamics, just my experience. |
