I used SE heave and it greatly improved the fork dive and ride feedback in corners! Depends what you want out of it and how you ride.

I'm about due to change mine again. I think the SE heavy is a 10w. What would be the SE heavy equivalent in spectra?

Fork oil? What the hell is fork oil for God sakes...... J/K

No matter what brand you choose, go with a heavier oil than stock. You will be very happy you did.

I switched to the SE oil to tighten up the front end a bit - handling is a bit better and ride is a bit firmer.....

SE Heavy here with Progressive drop-in lowering springs. Rides tight and brake dive is VASTLY improved over stock.
