Sounds good, I'm sure I'll still have them.
Hey do you still have these and open to parting from them?

Yes, I still have them and I'm still willing to sell.

I went with Basis Zs. They are a little soft though. Where do you live? Don't have to give the exact city, just the area. I'm in the Southeast and the roads are smooth, so they ride great.

One thing I will say is the shocks seemed to need like 50-60 miles to break in. When I first put them on they felt a little harsh, but now they are downright plush. I am pretty low too; I think I'm at 26.5" all around on a full tank.

Front preload is easily set. Basically move the bottom collar under the spring up until it's difficult, but not impossible, to rotate the front spring by hand. You're good to go.

The rears are a bit more tricky and you'll need to measure between the bottom shock bracket eyelet center and the center of the spring bucket arm's eyelet (where the mounting bolt slides through) under full droop. The spring bucket arm's eyelet should be 10mm (you can run between 0 and 10mm preload in most cases) higher than the damper's lower shock mount eyelet. Adjust the rear damper's bottom perch until it's 10mm higher. Compress the damper to the point you can slide the bolt through.

The spring perch, in the rear, is specifically for ride height. Set that first then preload in the rear.
