Bit of lateral thinking here - but if you want to maintain reasonable ground clearance - then how about ONLY fitting the Koni adjustables to the front.

Several members have done this (sorry if I forget who ) and they both confirm very good results as this alone will stop the wallowing and generally firm up the front.

You'll be charging over those speed ramps

not a bad idea at all, as the stilos big problem is being very nose heavy, nothing wrong with the back, its the walloing, heavy nose that causes issues, and very cost effective
