"I would definitely recommend replacing all the rubber bushings on the car and getting a good alignment too."

Fox
4.0
(5)
"Changed the back suspension to the Fox that Triumph offers."
"I'd keep the travel the same and just get a nicer fork, lyrik, fox 36."
"I installed Fox 36 160mm. Raised the stack a bit and also bottom bracket which are good and a bit noticeable."
"Shocks from any of the major shock manufacturers will do the job. I bought Fox, many others bought eibach/bilstein/Icon/Old Man Emu/Falcon/King."
