I just put a set of 412s on my LR and wow what a difference! The stock shocks were just crap over washboard and would bottom out with the preload turned all the way up. When I got the 412s on I had them on the lowest preload setting and they actually ride more harshley than when I turned the pre-load up to 3. I would have thought the lowest pre-load would be real floaty, but in any case, they are set well and it rides awesome. It is really obvious that I will have to replace the springs up front b/c the front end gets all the energy it seems as it is continually fully compressing when hitting rough pavement / bumps.

 

apart from these, are there any others available? colours, brands, prices etc??? I am afraid I am going to spend more money on my machine...

 

Lots of choices out there, I went w/ proggressive 440's in rear, and front fork springs from same which I thought sucked at first until I changed to slightly heavier fork oil, back was perfect front dived too much, now both are in sync. Peace
