Springs: Sonic Vs RaceTech
 
To all the suspension experts. Given the choice of racetech springs or sonic springs which would you choose and why?

I would like to drop in some correct weight springs just to see how big of a difference it makes, before the forks go off to hawkrider for work.

To me the springs look like they are the same. I get the similar spring rates using the respective companys calculator. Additionally there pricing is in the same ballpark. Is there anything that I am missing here?

I did search the forum and found two instances where sonic springs are mentioned, but there has been a ton of threads where racetech was mentioned. Why is this?

Buller, Buller, anyone, anyone

No difference between them except price, IMO. Sonic tests their springs for rate before they package. I've asked Rich that question personally. I'm not sure about RT.

From what I've seen/read, they are basically the same.
Racetech is generally a more popular brand, and after more brand recognition around the country. Just pick one; I like Sonic.

Or....just go with which set comes with cooler stickers? :D

I've switched from installing RaceTech springs a couple of years back, now I'm using Sonic. They are just as good in the quality department and cheaper. Plus Rich is really easy to deal with (not that RaceTech isn't).

Glad to hear. Thanks for the imput all. Sonic it is.
