Is the new air spring a worthy upgrade for these things. Stole my sons 2020 40 and gave him my coil boxxer seeing he barely rides.
Find the fork rides lowish if I get a good air pressure that balances comfort/support. Got the grip1 damper. I run 3 tokens as 4 was too much that was in it.

Get rid of the tokens if you want it to run higher in the travel at the start.

yeah try 2 tokens volume spacers.

Spoke with the shop that supposedly is a fox specialist suspension local to me about what can they do for a 40 grip1 damper modification rather than a grip2 drop-in damper at plus 1000aud then additional tuning.
Said grip1 isnt really worth tuning as its too costly to do mods on and the 2 is amazing and better than the rc2. Contrary to lots i read here.
Im dubious and seeking some advice. Not wanting to spend 1000 plus on the fork.

I recently 3d printed some negative volume spacer for a fork to let it ride higher in it's travel with a low springrate at sag. Seemed to work well.
But with that said, it's for XC. I prefer higher spring rates for steeper trails.

grip 2 non vvc compression mechanism is the same as your grip 1 but with adjustable lsc
its a supportive damper that is kind of harsh

grip 2 vvc, is noobs wet dream, no compression damping at all.

Thats what i thought. Is the rebound circuit the same as 2 non vvc apart from external adjuster?
suspension shop when i said the comp adjuster on top is is a preload on high speed, he said no its a low speed adjuster. At that point i was mentally checked out.

edit- ive now read a previous post of yours, was informative.

I'm curious about the 2020 air spring differences relative to current for the 40 also. Haven't seen any measured force curves for both.
