There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Technically it will change the " alignment " but you or your tires will never notice it …. the change will be REALLY small ….. Whenever you remove the amount of movement of the SPRINGS ( ie. pre-load ) - two things will occur, it will get stiffer , and it will also FEEL harsher..... back when I had my first Spyder , an 08 GS, I designed a bracket that changed the angle of the front shocks ( made them more up-right ). I discovered I could actually LOWER my Pre-load and still have better handling characteristics …. Also their was no evidence of a Harsher ride …. I " gifted " a set to Gene " ie. chupaca " , and He really liked what they did for His GS …… after I bought my 2014 RT I was able to do the same Mod, but the bracket had to be of different design because BRP changed the Frames in 2013...…. Lenny at " PitBull " did something similar with a solid alumin. block, it wasn't as much as my design achieved. He stopped production a few years back ( because of the frame change )…… hope this helps you understand the Spyder suspension ….. Mike

Sway Bar upgrade will take out a lot of the excess lean. Also try upping front pressures - you can tune the front end a lot with just a few extra psi.

If you want to maintain your present comfort level in the ride - I would go with the SWAY Bar upgrade …… forget increasing the PSI , because that will effect your Traction ( HIGHER PSI = bad ) and make the ride Harsher...….. Sway bars work differently than stiffer shocks …… good luck and Thanks …… Mike
