    I've got Wilbers in the GS, it made a world of difference. Technoflex prog springs in the dommie, same thing, bloody marvellous.

    I don't think it makes much difference buying the expensive ones, either way. I've seen people order the absolutely cheapest noname prog springs they could find (60 euros or so at the various german mailorders), and the leaflet in the box said "thank you for buying Wilbers yadda yadda" so I wouldn't be surprised if they all come from the same factory...

    I have WP springs and boy, does it make a big difference. It damps much smoother with a combination of the right fork oil and a set of progressive springs, it makes it seem like you have just put some brand new forks on it but miles better than stock! It reduces the 'wallowing' in long fast bends.
