Could you provide specific model type/number? I would like to order a pair of these for my Serveta Jet 200. I tried to search for "Lowered Spax" and all Google gives me is garbage. Spax site gives me too many listings.

Thanks from California, USA.

On second thoughts probably not. But there are a lot of places doing Mini spares you could be looking at.

check the closed and open lengths to see they'll fit, and remember to try and dial out as much compression as possible, certainly less than the inherent built in compression of your fork springs otherwise you'll run the risk of snapping your damper mounting lugs ! A typical standard lammy damper has almost no compression at all, and the rebound damping is an attempt to try and keep the tyre in contact with the road for as long as possible and prevent the front end from bouncing down the road.
