to Marland, keep us advised on the upgrade by starting a thread in the Suzuki section. I did this upgrade to the springs but I moved the sammi rear springs to the front and then used CJ springs on the rear and kept is spring under sammi axles. There are a few things to remember when doing that and going spring over will probably make even more issues. First of course is the springs will relocate the axles further out giving you a longer wb but steering components will be getting in the way. Relocating the spring mounts on the shackle side is required or as I did just added a second shackle that lays flat on the frame for even more down flex. I did have some bad bump steer until I replaced it with Calmini's  dual crossover. I also relocated the centerpin locating hole back on the perch to increase the wb even more.
