I got a set of jamex shocks. Are they the same for both size of legs? The ones I got (s[posedly for a 325 leg, don't fit in the leg properly. They're a bit lose (about 10mm too small I guess and a little bit shorter then normal.

ALSO, the shocks, though both new, compress and extend and different rates. Is this normal? (Im guessing not).

Anybody shed some light on this?

There are two diamaters available,you must have the larger m tec suspension, standard on the is.sounds like you were supplied with the smaller stock.I think it's 45mm verses 51mm,the shocks should feel the same,they should be stored vertically,maybe they weren't?
If it ain't broke..
Fix it till it is :)

Are the collars bronze ish looking and have 2 slots instead of holes? If so, I have them already, but they're still lose in the legs
