nice, how's the ride compared to stock springs? Did you end up going to Eurorev for the install?

It's only slightly stiffer than OEM sport.

I am happy to find no rubbing... I have tried hard to see if it would.

Question as to whether that remains true if I were to go to 20".

From your measurements, I don't see a difference....4" from top of rim to fender in both before and after pics.
