Just got it firing!
From experience, having played with the standard shock, then upgrading (?) to a Griso shock on the Bellagio. Then re-springing & re-valving the Griso shock was all a waste of time and money. Main problem, is the internal valving design cannot be made to work successfully. Stelvio wont be any different. What you feel as a rising rate problem is just compression damping suffering from hydraulic lock.
Find the happy ground (if that is possible) with the stock spring & adjusters, while saving up as fast as you can and buy a top quality unit.
