Did you spill coffee on your cap lock button. Cause it looks like you are YELLING EVERYTHING!

Try MXTech or Race Tech.

Get the Race Tech GV. Have Fredette set up the shim stack and install them with some new springs all yourself. Its easy like sunday morning.

Braahp ---I just got my GVs from Fredette and installed them on Sun. Morning -as you just quipped !! I haven't ridden it yet so no report is available. The threads on the base valve [6x1.0mm] are a bit tight so I chased them with a 6x1.0 die before installing the GV nut. They specify only 2 lb/ft torque. My shim stacks as delivered were screwed up so check yours before installation. Jeff had inadvertantly put 2 shims from 1 side onto the other side so I had a level 5 stiffness and a level 13 stiffness instead of both being 9s. Jeff's configuration is quite different from Race Tech's computer printout. RT recommended a level 4 High speed stack whereas Jeff configured mine at a level 9. I believe it's exactly the same as your Hi speed comp stack that you posted. Of course I didn't believe a 6 times ISDE Gold Medal winner and KDX Guru so I removed one of the top 1.5x17 shims.
