  1. First of all thanks to everyone for the help. I am going to
    get the "04 Z1 Drop Off II 130mmCoil Gray" forks. The best
    price I have found is $315 with free shipping.

    One last question. I have seen Z1 replacement springs for
    sale and since I weigh 195 should I order the firm or extra
    firm springs? Or will the air part of the fork be enough to
    stiffen it up?

    I currently ride a 03 Psylo with the extra firm black u-turn
    spring and it is not firm enough. Almost but not quite.

    Again thanks for all the help. I hope to order by tomorrow
    (and be riding this weekend) if you guys respond in time for
    me to make the order.

    Thanks, Scott

    If the fork has air assist, you will have no problems
    stiffening it up for yourself. I'm 140 and I put no air at
    all in either leg of my 03 Dirt Jumper II. I can't bottom it
    out unless I do pavement drops greater than 5 or 6'. I put
    some air in it, and it was essentially a rigid fork 😉

    At 195 you can just use the stock springs.
