And for compression systems, I have a starnut already. Is the SR compression system better than the inward scooters one?

a lot, and you will need a compression bolt aswell as the starnut.

and 110mm doesn't feel too different to 100mm, i would go for 110

For sure it is. Inward's one requires that you'd drill two holes into your lower part of the bars, which will make the bars weaker. But SR's require that you would only install the starnut into the bars and it doesn't make the bars weaker at stressful points.

If you are riding stock bars (Razor or Micro bars, not XT),
then you can use the same starnut that came with the headset, which is an size 1 1/8".

If you're riding aftermarket bars (Buffs, slaYers, wees, bay state, etc...) or XT bars,
then you'll need to get yourself a size 1 1/4" starnut (marked as "oversized" in the SR Store)

the compression system shit sounds really annoying. Do I need anything specific if I just get a threaded fork? Will the threaded fork work with C4 bars? Also, when will the proto 110mm wheels be back in stock?

any bars unless you yourself make some kind of fail bar will work with threads. Threads are just threads, nothing else to it. I dont know when protos come back in stock but people say Andrew is in the process of making new ones. But its NOT going to be a longgggg time until he does

Alright, so far I'm going

-Inward .120/threaded/offset fork
-Q4 Bars (unless someone has a different suggestion)
-Waiting for the 110m proto's to be back in stock

BTW, does this sound like a really heavy setup

here is your answer dude
110 proto wheels
0.120 threaded inward fork, you wont break this, so dont bother getting threadless. seen as your new compression will be hard to work, even i hate damn compression systems.
offset or zero offset is your choice, but offset will be more familiar for you, so get that.

C4 Bars, wrong section, not too much heavier than stock.

Get 100mm Eaglesports.

get a 1.20 threaded fork, with offset. zero offset forks suck, and they make nose manuals harder (for me at least)

Threadless is only better if you have a compression system, and if the forktube you plan on getting is on the thin side. if you get a 1.20 threaded fork, you wont break it.

I'm actually leaning towards exactly what you said. I'd really rather order my wheels and my bars from c4scooters because the wheels from there wit %15 off come out to like 58 dollars WITH shipping. If I were to buy 110mm proto's, it would be around 80 Shipped. Although I wish I could know what it was like to ride 110s, just to see if I liked them more. Is there any major differences between the two? More control with 110s? Thanks for everyone who has helped me out so far.
 
id think you have less control with fakies and maybe technical stuff like scooter fakies because your higher off that ground? Haha whats your insight on that greg.... i mean it seems like theres more control with 90mms than 100mms. Maybe its in my head?

edit: does it really matter? I really dont wanna be mean but it seems like this kid has absolutely no idea what hes doing and he just wants a cool scoot that doesnt even really apply to himself

No, I just never log onto this site. I've had my pro model for about 6 months now and the only things I changed was bolted it/grips/and grip tape. I'm just now starting to look into after market parts and I have a bunch of money to spend from christmas.

Alright, ordered my Inward fork .120/threaded/WITH offset. Came out to $95 or so. Next is wheels and bars, Is there a guide on how to measure bar height? Like where to start the measurement. Thanks
