Rick,

I have heard that STP is going to dissolve eventually all rubber seals of
the shocks. I have not put STP in mine. I have changed the valving
(stiffer valving from MOSS UK - ships really inexpensively due to small
size) and have used the thickest motorcycle fork oil I could find. 

I don't bottom out that often anymore, but I hate all tiny speed bumps.
That's were I bottom out even when "snailing" over the bumps.

Cheers,
