Thats where mine are going, I hear good reports.

Quoted me around £300 for a full service including new springs for my weight, bushes, seals, etc.
Thats if I take them as they are, out of the bike but not stripped down already.

With suspension its the law of diminishing returns for normal mortals, once you've got a decent basic set-up its normally ok for most of us, then if you want to do more then it costs more and the gains get less and less in my experience....and you need to be a BSB rider at least to exploit the extra.
I spent about 3.5k on my race suspension and to be honest my lap times weren't any quicker than when it was just basic well set up kit.

I fancied DLC but there are one or two very small rust spots on my forks, shouldn't be enough to knacker seals but if I was having them DLC then they'd have to be done and it was £520 for the DLC including re-chroming.
So I think I'll give that a miss, with springs and everything else I'd be spending way more than I needed to.
