That red 1000 is starting to grow on me.... Look at this picture. omitting the cheesey tires , I like the cage and the doors. would have to get Edges red springs can't have white springs. and do something about the white graphics. but all in all it looks damn good... I would build the cage with the front down a little to square it off , don't like the sand car look.

You would look good in that! I dont think you would want my stock springs, you might as well go ahead and get with Bob at FCR suspension and get a good set for it.

But i like the plush ride. , i don't care about flying around curves like you do. I just want articulation for climbing over rocks....

I do also but Im telling you it is set up wrong stock. I have good articulation and can take a curve above 25mph. Tell me this vid of it dont have good articulation and I have about 11lbs of air in the tires also. But you can try the stock out and see if you like it also. I tried it myself and was running out of preload adjustment from the springs sagging.

The only thing is the front looks really good , but in the video to me it looks like the rear is way to stiff...... i watch close it looks like the rear hardly even moves. it looks like the rear is to stiff. but the front looks like its moving really good. With beefed up springs i think i would have to take the rear sway bar off to get more articulation in the rear. at least that is what it looks like from the video..... Maybe after i drove one in the woods i may think different. but for now thats my story and i am sticking with it.....

You can try it you might like it. I hated mine and it was by far the worst driving rzr I have ever had.

Have you ever took the swaybar loose and drove it since you put the stronger springs on just to see what its like.....

you got to try it on yours , you got the heavy springs. you need to sacrifice , for the good of research and development..... so un hook your sway bar and give us a full report....
