Even though I just ordered offroad tires, is it a bad idea to ride my Spree on the dirt? It's just a question that has been pricking me in the side for quite a while now. Thanks!
ive taken mine on dirt a few times on street tires. wasnt a very good idea. didnt feel like it was good for the chasis, and i basically couldnt go over 10mph... i would say stick to street, but with dirt tires and a stiffer shock u never know.

ive never seen one on ebay or anything. maybe try asking a honda dealership if they have one. even if you get a stock one, it ought to be stiffer. itll just cost you a bit.

dont know who that is, and like i said I've never heard of actual stiffer shocks being available, just figure that brand new ones from the dealer would be better.
Stiffening the spring and increasing the shock damping are different things. You could actually stiffen the spring using shims, although I've never tried it. You cannot increase shock damping on the stock shock, it would require replacement with an aftermarket unit.
shims are like spacers or washers that normally take the slack out of something.(like a spring) if you put shims in to compress the spring you get a stiffer spring rate.
