Just switching springs made the car feel smoother, I can imagine switching shocks too lol.
I also noticed white rear was a little loose on the dry track but thought it might have been the aka handlebars since switching back to the barcodes I got better but still loose traction, before I could change springs they blew the track off and fired up the mist system, getting the track back to normal.
I have read the guides and I'm trying to do a crash course in tuning so half the time I'm changing things (one at a time) without need just to see how it does on the track.
The amount of progression is really minimal, as is the difference between the spring rates. If I recall correctly, when I measured the old springs vs the new springs, the new ones were more linear. Keep in mind that the new springs don't use the thick coating that adds to whole problem as well. All in all, it's minor differences.
