Yes I had the MB spring set up in my forks and just found them way too hard, they used to bounce over road imperfections and I didn't find them a very pleasant ride. Bit of a bugger to fit as well
I fitted the Scootopia spring set-up ( can't remember if its progressive or not) and now its a decent ride. They just give them same level of riding as a good OEM spring set up. Paul

BGM do 10% stiffer fork springs ! Haven’t tried them but would be interested in any feedback on these.

Mrnice71 did you buy the Scootopia springs (standard or progressive) and have you had chance to try them ? As I’m also in the need for new springs.

In the end l bought the Cambridge yellow ones , which dont seem much softer than the MB ones .
What type of front brake are you using ?

Standard Lambretta disc but with reverse pull and standard type dampers.

Why not try the Scootopia progressive with half thickness spring stops that MB sell then to soften them a little
Let us know how you get on
