2001 Kona Stinky Dee-Lux Mountain Speed Speedspring Frnt/Back
Bottom Line:
These spring rule. The original springs would bottom when i hopped off of a curb, now i do 11 stairs to flat with no problem. I dont have to worry about riding hard and bottoming every hit anymore, and the new springs dont buck you when you land either. The best upgrade i've made on any of my bikes to date!

Strengths:
available in a large range of applications and spring rates. No hassle to order, showed up next day in Canada! My car-guy friends are impressed that Eibach makes springs for mountain bikes.
Weaknesses:
expensive, especially that next-day shipping, but in my opinion it's worth it because you get what you want fast, with no hassle.

Bottom Line:
My rear spring was too soft, now i can run zero pre-load, blue spring looks pretty good, a spring is a pretty simple part and should be easy to obtain. Simply, the rearspeed spring does its job perfectly.
