In the pic it looks bad to me.

Re: The Florida BullShit Thread

There are more than 2. Try the pre load on top and the compression damp. to full stiff. Work your way out from full stiff a 1/4 turn at a time. P.S. they are both on top.

I want them as stiff as possible. But there is only one screw at the top of eacy fork and one at the bottom. I tightened them all the way.

Those are fluid dampeners only, they only control the rate of compression / rebound and not the tension or collapse travel of the springs. I know more about MX suspension than street but in MX if you want the forks to NOT bottom out you replace the internal spring with a much heavier one and put in thicker oils, new seals, wipers, o-rings etc.. and adjust the dampeners. Maybe look into that?
