I'll probably use the same rate springs front and rear, but heavier shock oil up front and lighter oil in the rears, if that makes a difference.
I like the shocks from GPM, but its worth mentioning that some I have bought have not actually been labelled as GPM, but Roadtech instead. The full alloy shock seems to come as Roadtech, yet the plastic ones with the plastic ball damper come marked as GPM.
I have no idea if this is something Asiatees do on purpose, or if gpm and roadtech are linked, but I do know the Roadtech ones have been good so far with only a single ballcup replacement fter a lot of use, which are cheap for four so worth adding to your basket if your buying a set of the shocks.
