Gonna need to buy 15wt 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.
Not to worry, you don't know if you need anything done to it yet. Might be perfect, and the previous owner just didn't like "butter."
