Todd installed my new 1.05kg fork springs yesterday, and they make a helluva difference over the originals. I'd bought the Penske 8983 rear shock from Todd about a year ago, and it's night & day better than the original Sachs, but the ride had still been a bit unbalanced and the front-end dive under braking was still too much. On the way home I took a fairly steep and definitely tight-twisty road down the mountain. Now the Stelvio feels even more planted and there's much less dive under braking. Preload is set to zero now; even though the bike feels great now, I'll be playing with r- and c-damping next week just to see if it can get even better. Where's the thumbs-up icon??? Guess this one will have to do!
