how much do you weigh what is the stroke of the shock and how much travel does the frame have.

according to mojo you would need a 323 lb so either a 300 or 350.

400 is going to be too much for you and you're going to lose all small bump sensitivity and good feeling of the dw link

buy a 325 if you can and if you cant a 350..

Why do you like stiff suspension? That pretty much goes against the reasons for buying a bike like the Sunday.

Currently a Marzo 66RC and top end Progressive 5th element.
They do the job and have the amount of adjustment I need.

On my new bike I am switching to a DHX5 air, and eventually either tossing on a Totem, newer 66, or maybe even a 36. Depends on how my riding style evolves with the new bike.

For a 2006 Norco Atomik.

Fork: Marzocchi Super T:
200mm travel.
Adjustments on stiffness.
Overall a really good fork.

Rear Shock: Fox DHX 3.0
8.1" of travel.
Rebound adjustments.
Stiffness adjustments.
Probably rather a 5.0 but the 3.0 is great.

Spring: Manitou 300lb x 3.0
A bit squeeky.
Pretty good.
Soon changing to a Fox 350lb x 2.80 spring.
