So, this is gonna cost me way more than the $183 that I thought I was going to have to pay. If this were my Fox Vanilla, I would just have to pop the preload cap, pull the spring, put in new spring. Done.

Irritating:
Gonna need to buy 15wt oil - $15-19
Gonna need to buy 5wt oil - $15-19
You can't just buy the spring. You need to buy a spring assembly which is $40-48. There are only a few people who carry the "firm" spring. I can get the X-Firm spring for $10 cheaper.

So...if I do it myself, the absolute cheapest I can get by is probably gonna be $65 or so. That's if I gimp out and don't buy any new 15wt to change out the damper side. (which I think is probably not a good idea)

Still though...if I pay $80, I still have less than $300 in it.

Still a little pissed.
