Hey mate

Go some 635mm, there's some for sale on eBay at the moment.
They're Fastace as03 635mm long and no one has bidded on them yet so they are still $0.99. Just contact the dude on a postage quote, put your bid in during the last 1 minute of the auction and you'll be laughin.

Go the 635mm forks, you can always drop them through the mounts a little to dial in the height,

I would look around for something better than the as03 though, I think fastace leopards are supposed to be heaps better.

The leapords are a step up, but also a step up in price. Plus I don't think they come in the 630mm form.

The as03 are still pretty good and for the price these ones on ebay are at you cant go wrong

I think you will find that the better forks these days come with preload and compression adjustment n both legs, not knocking the as03 just showing you a better alt.

If you could pick up the as03 forks for under $100 that would be a sick deal.
