No he quickly pulled his hagons off his wrecked rocket and replaced them with general garbage shocks!!!! If I had stock OEM shocks it would have been hard to decide

How did you guess...its a shame considering the condition of the original one i replaced when i bought it 23000km on it i kid you not it was perished string showing yet it had a new one on the rear no pob pem in the land of smilesYou know the answer to that one!
Won't need a front for a couple months yet.
im prepared to remove the front which has a good 3500miles out of it...just for the fun of a lower profile and i was on the hunt for a rear so all in all perfect timing thanks to you fellas on here saved my bacon im just in the process of sorting payment i just got the part numbers but they dont tally with what i requested was 444-4202c came back 440-4209c and front springs requested 11-1529 came back 11-1513 ive looked on progressive both items come up but under the ones i looked up originally

Thanks alot for the tyre chart chart and great laymens terms for us grease monkeys...job sortedNO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
Do NOT go 12"!!!
Stay with OEM 12.5" and go with 13" if you have the inseam, 31" or more.
Agree with Warpo that a 140 75R/17 (does not have to be Avon Cobra, there are other options) on front and a 240/55R/16 Exedra Max rear is the best set-up!
