Will the 25MM front fork cartridge kit and rear race shock help with handling on the bike and if so how???

Let me add to this, will the EBR suspension be worth the cost for a street bike and a few track days?

I have heard people describe the EBR stuff as being very stiff for the street. I believe the performance increase comes from better internal action and more adjustability for differing track conditions. How has the stock setup been lacking for you?

Make sure you get the right springs for your weight.

It would be uncomfortable on a street bike that's not exclusively used for sporting pace rides. It's valved for an experienced rider.

i am at the lighter end of the recommended weight for the lighter springs. in order to get the recommended sag i had to reduce the length of the supplied spacer. even still i am running with only 1 turn in on the preload. this is on my race/track only bike. i ran the stock stuff all last year and was very satisfied. i'm still adjusting on the race suspension after 2 race weekends but it is a lot closer now. picked up 3 seconds a lap at Daytona since last October and will need 3 more by next October. the street bike is still all stock.
