I have owned and ridden Progressive 940 , Ricor , JRi B , Ohlins #3-#3 & Ohlins #6 . I can't speak about the difference between the 357 & 022 but I can speak to the 159 & 357. For me when I used the 159 I was very very happy and could have just stopped there and been satisfied , but after putting Ohlins in my front end I decided to upgrade the back and bought the 357 , in my opinion the 357 are the best shocks out there and I wish I had started there and would have been done and saved a lot of money in between , my wife says these are the most comfortable to her as well , although she had no complaints on the 159's . The more adjustability the smoother you can make the ride , HOWEVER , if you do not have the patience to dial them in and don't want to spend the time and effort or you don't have the budget the 022 is a great choice . They are worlds better than stock and a quality shock.
