For what shocks? OEM?
Would you make springs for the front & rear or only the front?

for the OEM shocks, we would make front and rear. we can also make them softer (lessen the compression rate) but yet keep the travel nearly the same.

I may be interested depending on the cost. I have two V's. One already has Works shocks on the front (holding it at stock height) but a stock rear shock and the other is all stock. I would be interested in them being a bit softer also. The rear shock even when set to almost full soft with no spring preload is still a bit stiff for me. The stock fronts are WAY stiff.

I don't really understand how you could make the ride height 2" lower but still have nearly the same travel. Seems like there would be some loss of travel.

I'd be interested in softer stock length front and rear springs in (color) black.

I would also be interested in some softer fronts. Black ones would be great

Black would be fine for me as well.
What sort of price range are you thinking for fronts? Rears?

We don't have a price set as of yet we're still working on the prototype set.

I just mainly need input, do you guys want lower springs or just softer or both?

The spring would be exactly the same length as OEM just a different spring and load rate, you would still have upward travel with out spring play.
