Racing Beat is the best.

Best quality, fit and finish and ride for the street.

Racing beat is a hair lower than stock. So there you have it. I dont know about them being the best as some member on here had clunking in the back due to the racing beat springs compressing to much.

The NF and GF drops somewhat close to what you're asking.

Difference between the two is that GF is a bit more stiff for handling. And NF retain stock feeling while giving you the drop.

That was on the first production run (4 years ago) where the factory pulled the wrong wire. The diameter was too thin.

Ask me how I know?

RB replaced all those springs for free.

CLunking in the rear is a common problem because people replace springs and not the rear shocks.

The stock rear shocks are weak.
