I love my F&F Type 1s with one exception. They are simply TOO soft. Was wondering if anyone has tried to increase the preload on the spring past the factory setting (which is also the recommended setting found on their site). I dont wanna go crazy just take some of the easiness out of the suspension travel. Thanks all

I really wouldnt do too much because it will void any sort of warrenty you have on them if they were to blow

My D2's have over 100K on them, the springs def. have softened up alot! Over the years I've slowly increased the preload to recoup some of that stiffness w/ very good success. Def. get a feel for how much the threads on the bodies and collars can take, you don't want to tax them too much to the point of them dropping the threads!
