I dont know about that fork but IMO 0.3mm and even 0.2mm shims dont belong in a fork compression stack.

Have you tried the using the comp adjuster and oil heights as a first way to set them up?

I agree with Marcus. .2 and .3 shims hardly flex, and hence your stack will hardly move. Use more .1 shims.

Add a few 21.1s to the std stack is my advice, im not going to give out stacks for a few reasons, one is i have never done that type of fork before,

www.shimprogram.com has a forum that shares shim stacks and tuning info.

Wow thanks for the link, looks like a cool site. I am just beginning the quest for better suspension, and am hungry for information.
