GMP....How did you reduce your preload from 5mm to 2 mm ? Is that something that can only be done internally, and with the forks off the bike? I have the same problem with my 48 Zokes...stiff and really harsh in the slow stuff...but work great in the high speed terrain. I have my pfp turned all the way out amd my compression one click in from full soft. I have stiffer springs for my weight aswell....250 lbs. I believe they are .48's.

I made custom shims to place under the springs. What I do is change the spring perch position 5mm for zero preload, then add two 1mm shims. I like the feel a lot better. Be sure you are at a known preload though, because most aftermarket springs are not the same length as the OEM Zoke springs. I'm running .46s and I'm just under 180 lbs.
