Anyone remember the DPS problem?
One of the mods Cat and I did to our 2010 RT and RS shortly after we bought them were Evo sway bars . . . the RT got Elka's before the sway bar and the RS got the Elka's after the sway bar. The sway bar made an incredible difference and helped to quell the evil handling traits of the pre-DPS recall Spyders. While the shocks improved the ride the sway bar helped keep the Spyder flat in the turns. I installed the RT shocks on the RS and ended up taking them off because all they did was make the front end stiffer. If stiff was the answer, we would all be riding rigid frames. You need the shock action to keep the wheels on the road. Cat says that the sway bar on her RS made more difference in the turns and general handling than the Elka shocks (that cost almost 3x the price of the sway bar). We do very little freeway riding as we live in Southern Oregon among the Siskiyou/Cascade and Coastal mountain ranges . . . . riding is all about the curves for us, and the sway bar was a good investment.
