Anyone have any experience of these ? Is there any noticeable advantage/ride improvement with them ?

I've got camlam ones.

I've not ridden a standard lambretta since the eighties so it's difficult to compare but they're not stiff enough for me. The dive when I pull the front brake is very unpleasant.

I'm going to try bgm ones next even though I've heard they're no different.

Racers must have balls of steel to race with suspension as soft as mine.

Best upgrade I've ever done when it comes to bike behavior on the road!
I run MB progressive in both my Lambrettas

MB are stiffer than Scootopia. I prefer the MB ones and will shortly be buying another set. They instill confidence when emergency braking.

You need a decent rear shock to balance them though.

if its the dive your trying to get rid of, think of fitting anti-dive front disc brake set-up, its very good, better than making your front end way too hard and giving you a hard ride all the time.
