Default Suspension upgrade

Well two weekends ago. It was nice and my good friend with a DRZ400 and I hit up the local riding area close to my house.I'm 6' 200lbs the suspension shouldn't be compressed that far just going into a turn. This pushed me over the limit and I finally sprung for new springs. I went with some Eibach springs, 20 wtSilkolene fork oil, and set the compression settings in the middle. What a difference. Now its time for the rear shock.

I need to upgrade my front fork also. I weight 230 and I bottom the front end out all the time. Going to mod the exhaust first then go after the suspension.
