    I believe they make our stiff suspension even stiffer. Bad on your back, good for getting some airtime in your VX and landing smoothly.

    That's what I'm hoping for.
    The rear of mine is really stiff with the OME 919 springs. But the fronts are so cranked (to match the rear height) that when I hit a bump (like a speed bump), the un-sprung force really slaps hard when it springs... I have to be careful... It's more embarrassing than anything.
    I want to match the feel of the rear to the front.

    I hear ya, The IFS doesn't seem to be able to control heavier tires. Its starting to wear on me & might push me into another project .
