Would this be a good upgrade?

I have been offered a 2007 pair of Fox float 32 RL for really cheap , I would be using them to replace a pair of 2011 recon solo air turn keys.
Would this sound like an upgrade, I have been looking for a pair of fox forks for a while now
Thanks!

only if they have had their yearly service each year. they are effectively 5 years old.
I would not bother."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

naa awful - i'll give you a tenner for them
:P0 -
Well make sure the steerer is long enough as well0

Steerer should be exactly the right size. My current one is post mount, I would need to change to IS mount. Is that easy?0

Not worth it then? 8)0

Would Rebas be a better call for that sort of money?0

new? yes."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Should be able to find some in a sale somewhere?
I could try some haggling, are the fox floats a better fork than my recons. I am looking to change the recons as I don't particularly like them. Too uncontrolled, no clearance between the tyre and fork making it a pain to cycle in mud. But also don't have a whole lot of money to replace them!0 -
but TBH I would look to upgrade the TK to a MoCo cartridge as the least expensive upgrade."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Yep, depends on the Recon. Recon Moco is better than an old Fox RL.0

What sort of difference would it make? Stiffer?0 -
It would improve the damping, making the fork more controlled on bigger/ repeated hits, making it less likely to pogo on descents.0
-
That sounds tempting, but the problem of clearance is still there then. There is some Sektors for sale in the classifieds

Would they be suitable? (As you can tell I don't have too much knowledge about forks)0
