The Sachs does not have the best reputation, but some have reported decent performance from them. And with an Ohlins cartridge kit they behave very well, I have been told. But that's another story, and a lot of cash.
To me, the works Ohlins forks sound like the best bet. Is it only the spacers that is the problem? If so, a set of spacers is easily made up by anyone with a lathe and a set of calipers.
