    if you have a fox shock just get them of mojo, i reckon they do a harder D/h type but have a look and all you have to do is send them the name of the bike model etc and they will send the right ones for your bike :) .
    oh one thing though fitting them is a bit triicky but can be done at home with a couple different sized sockets and a vice :wink:

    I used a G-clamp to do the ones I couldn't get to the vice. It would be easier to use one of those ratcheting bar clamps though. They can be bought for less than a tenner at Homebase.
