    Progressive suspension brand. Find your compatible model but get the HD heavy duty version / springs. Amazon sells for decent prices.

    Over 400 2up and luggage & trunk full works great.

    Yep the 412 heavy duty progressive springs are great I'm 300+ and just put a set on my maxim and love them. part number was 412-4206C and im pretty sure its the same for the seca.

    Might as well do the front end too I think the seca uses progressive 11-1101 for the front but i'm not sure on that one

    I weigh over 330, i've got my rear shocks one up from light and I only bottom out when I hit a huge dip at speed (like a 3 inch dip over 2 feet span).

    I must have half decent 30 year old shocks lol
