Worth it? Never used them, so will leave that and what modifications are required to fit them to Greg and others.
On my Convert, SP and G5 I refilled the o.e. dampers (they weren't leaking just ineffective) with good results. If anyone is interested in the details, let me know. Cheers,

Well, one I just tested gurgles and has open non dampned spots in the travel so I will presume they are both toast.
what are the FAC's your talking about and are they worth the extra effort , price ect ect.

They do go bad.
Squeeze the front brake and push down with force on the bars. Do the forks resist or collapse like a house of cards?
Or, if you have them in hand, push and pull on the rods. Do they go in and out through the stroke with even resistance?
Replace with the longer G5 dampers and springs. Or, with a little work you can put in FACs.
