Thanks again for the input.

When the springs get to the house, I will be in the garage for a while setting up the front like this:

.43kg/mm springs from Eibach, their 996 series at 512mm free legnth

5mm preload

oil at 135 mm from the top, tubes compressed springs out

the first two shims removed from the valve stack

mix 5w and 10w oil for a 7.5w blend Belray

I hope to get a plush initial travel for small stuff, and have the heavy springs soak up the bigger hits.  I don't jump very high, maybe 5 feet off the ground at the most.  All of the tracks I ride are easy vet and I don't push aggressively or have anything to prove.  I know that I can just about bottom the stock forks in my front yard now.

If the rebound is too fast, I will run a 10w or a 10w 15w blend and go softer on the compression to keep the plushness.  I hope to keep the initial plushness also by running less preload. I run the forks at the top of the triple clamps, as came stock for stability.
