I wanted to adjust the sag on my RockSock Dart2 to 20mm but noticed that it only goes down to about 15mm. Does anyone have the same or a similar fork and experienced the same thing?

With higher end forks can you control more variation with the sag?

The Dart series use coil springs...so to get more sag, you'd either need to weigh more, or use a lighter weight spring. The higher end forks mostly use air springs...you can just use a lower pressure to get more sag...
