Sorry I missed this! I agree with abec's description in general. I haven't driven a twin with stock suspension for some time so I can't accurately compare I'm sorry. With my particular setup it is quite comfortable most of the time. That in part will be due to the baloon like tyres I have. From a comfort point of view I think the rear spring rate is a bit high and would be better being the same as the front. If the rear spring for the RCE set ends up being around 4.5kg/mm I may get them just for that.

From a handling point of view I am pleasantly surprised. It does lean a bit more and its not as sharp during transitions but the grip is there. With better wheels, tyres and some more rear camber I could imagine enjoying it on a canyon style run even. For reference beyond the TRD springs and shocks I have Pedders offset strut tops, whiteline camber bolts, Racerx adjustable rear upper control arms and the MCA traction brackets. I also swapped out the whiteline rear sway bar bushings for the stock units.

My alignment is about 1.5deg camber in the front and 1deg in the rear with 0 toe all around. I think with any toe in at the rear it would feel a bit too understeery.

I hope my waffling on gives you some idea
