Default Marzocchi 45 shim advice?

Hi everyone. I've reslrung my bike for my weight 95kg (0.47x5.7) and love the feel of the springs, but the damping still feels harsh at the top of the stroke on small bumps, and rebound adjustment seems non existent. The bike had heavier springs in when I got it but I'm still not sure if it was revolved.

Can anyone recommend me a shim stack for plush over small rocks etc, but man enough to tale big hits (jumps).??

Thanks!

If you take the time to pull the forks down and record whats in there now I'm sure we'll be able to provide a few suggestions.

I'm thinking it would be safe to assume I have whatever is standard for the 06' ec300, as I have the same complaints of not much rebound damping and harshness over small bumps... maybe? lol

I have no idea what the stock stacks are. Would be interested in seeing them though.

I have a 2011. I don't have shim info but I had the exact same harshness with my bike when it was new. I had mine valved with added SKF seals by WER here in the US. HUGE Difference! They are awesome now, no harshness at all. Its the best money I have ever spent. I've been riding the bike for the last three seasons without any changes.
