Posts: 28848 Tucson Az Gender:	Re: Front Shocks Reply #3 - 12/03/08 at 10:27:12 Not an expert here,... but fork oil will effect damping/rebound more than compression..You'll need firmer springs or spacers under the fork caps to firm it up. Mines a little mushier than I would like too...I just don't want to deal with it. Anybody done any firming out there?....
