I have the Spax kit from Mini-Mania. In all honesty I think it is a total
waste
of time. I've gone back to standard armstrong shocks with 40wt fork oil and
it is significantly better.
The problem is the mounting angle - it is 45 degrees or worse. It basically
doesn't do much damping at all.
I'm playing around with other schemes to remount the Spax, until I get it
right I'm staying with armstrongs.
