The FRS shocks come from Fox with a 550lb spring that is designed to work with the gen 2. I was thinking of stepping up to a 600lb spring because all the aftermarket gen 1 shocks come with a 600-650lb spring and I believe that the factory gen 1 spring is less than 600lbs. I was concerned that if I ran the lighter spring I would have the same issues that the factory gen 1 spring has with the gen 1 shocks (nose dive under braking, hard bottom out in g-outs, etc). But because the gen 2 FRS shocks are wildly different than any gen 1 offerings, you can do more with the shock to help control all that because there are more IBP zones. Although he did say up here in the dunes alot of people are having to run heavier springs to deal with the big g-outs. Also when you really think about it, yeah overall the gen 2 is lighter but the nose weight isn't all that different with 2 turbos and all the additional piping, IC, etc. Would be really interesting to scale out both and compare the nose weight. For now I will be running the 550 spring and see how that does.</p></blockquote><p></p>
