do you like your FC PDS spring? it's one step on from the last WP. i'm amazed WP don't make far more springs to cater for the big boys.

So far so good. Things I've noticed so far: It is short, maybe 240mm compared to the standard 250mm WP. It required little pre load to get the sag set, which is good. I think I may have it preloaded 4 mm or so.

It only comes in orange! I don't really care, it works. This spring seems to control the bike better through whoops, drop offs, and other big hits where the straight rate would tend to wallow and use too much travel. It "may" have a bit stiffer ride through roots and rocks, I am still testing as I don't normally ride a lot of that terrain. I backed out the LS adjuster a few clicks and got some compliance back, but I really need to play around with the HS adjustment, which to this point I have not done since the spring has been fitted.

For now, it is staying on, and testing will continue.

I previously tried the stock 8.0 (not for long), an 8.8 and a 9.2. I settled on the 9.2 before I decided to take the plunge with the FC progressive. By the way, for reference, my FC spring is the "H" one--9.0 to 11.5. I think FC makes three different progressive springs.
