Better suspention

I like the ride of my bike height wise I have 6 inch pegs that scrape enoght. But the shocks front and rear seem too mushy to me despite various adjustments. I looked at replacement shocks and it's all lower lower lower I don't want to lower my bike just stiffen it up for some better handling. Any suggestions.

It's a 2006 fxsti.

EDIT>> never mind I found progressive makes and OEM replacement next question anyone use this how is the ride improved?

Search the forum. Tons of people have installed progressive suspensions on their rides and love them. I have the front springs in my bike and its a great improvement over stock.
