The suspension is as quiet as a church mouse. No creaking.. No groaning and now that the suspension has had time to "break-in", it's fantastic. Ride quailty is very good, handling is great, althought I still teeter-totter a bit on sharp driveways. I find myself listening to the intake and exhaust now.. and not focusing on the creaking rear suspension. I just hope it lasts!
