I think it is the Heavy SE, but the guys at Ricor will give you the correct recommendation...

It is either or, the Monotubes you can not put anything with them, they are a 'cartridge' no adjusting, no rebuilding.. I did not go that route

The Intiminators I put with my regular tubes + the Progressive -2" lowering springs (not the monotubes).. .hope this cleared it.

There is a reason one does not have to adjust or rebuild the monotubes. You don't ever need or have too.
