I bought the non-ES with the intention of installing an Ohlins rear shock and couldn't be happier. I got the grips for half price by ordering the individual parts as opposed to the kit and never looked back.

I scored a Penske used for a song. I planned on modifying the stock shock originally. Too much to go wrong the ES imo in the long run.

Thank you for the info WJBertand.

I called Racetech.com today after going to their website and calculating the best spring for a 240lbs guy.

The resusts put me on one before the last from the list
SK SPRING 8.0 x 2.25" 19.6kg

(See on top of the page recommendation)

So...
(1) rear spring $125.oo
(2) spacer adp $23.oo (recommended)

I dont know the mm on the racetech spacers, if I go with the Eibach spring it means can I get the spacer from rideonadv?

Now the problem is thr spacer!

Thank you.

It should be kept in mind that all of my information is for the ES model which has a significantly softer rear spring than the standard model. Because the linkage ratios are different between the models, one can't compare the rear spring rates across them.
