If you want great shocks, I'd recommend the Koni SA's. Do NOT stay with stock shocks, they won't be able to handle the higher spring rate. At the very least, go with revalved bilsteins... I don't know if the HDs can handle that high of a rate (on the high end) or not.

WOW 25" in the front is low, way too low for me. I think just over 26" would be about perfect.

Yeah, I'm going to put in some spring spacers also...around 26'' or 26 1/4'' would be great.

I love the looks of 25'', but realistically I just don't see it working out.

If you look at the some of the feedback on their site from users, you'll see that many of them love their DMS springs at the track.

I'm just trying to find an ideal setup that I'll be using at the strip but would still give me good results in cornering.
