haha shitload of posts! Sorry was racing this weekend!
Yes it is much stiffer than stock, I had to back off preload nearly all the way for it to be soft enough, and I also backed off both high and low speed compression a half turn, while increasing rebound damping a full turn. It'll never feel all soft and gushy like the stock shock, and especially if you still have the stock front springs, it will feel rough in comparison.
With those settings and me at 150 lbs, it feels perfect on the track with my 140 width bt003rs rear tire. Really easy to slide, extremely forgiving over bumps, and plenty quick for transition. Also helped me kick ass, so I've got no complaints
