I have an Rm 250 2003 and wanted to get the correct fork and shock springs for my wt. I wanted to get the race tech springs. Using their calculator I end up with .453 for the forks and 5.3 for the shock. Looks like race tech Is .44 or .46 and 5.2 or 5.4.
I was going to go with .46 and 5.4 but I got a gift car to motosport for Christmas and would love to use it for springs. Thing is they only sell the Factory connection ones. They have the same spring rate in the shock so I would stick with the 5.4 but they have .45 or .47 for the forks. Would I be ok to use .45? Or should I just fork out the money to buy the race tech ones.
What about quality are they about the same quality between both companies?
Thanks guys

But one thing I was thinking is stock is .43 so that's only .02 difference and I'm hopping to notice a big difference from that. I bottom out all the time and my body hurts unlike riding my other bike when I'm done. So I just don't want to buy too soft.
If your oil is low you will bottom out. To my knowledge, oil level is the main factor to bottoming - once your springs are set up for you.

Plus it will leave me money for other crap I will have to buy from motosport.
The quality of springs is comparable, FC has a good product as well. Nothing to be scared of there if you go that route.
