I'm really not a fan of the monarch plus on the suppressor so I'm going to get a replacement. I'm quite torn between a coil or air shock. The suppressor has a fairly gentle progressive leverage ratio 2.5-2.3 so worried the coil will blow through the travel too quickly but plenty of people have coils on the patrol/suppressor.

options are CCDB air or coil CS and fox DHX2 or X2 (with the CS). The cane creek coil is the cheaper choice by about £40 with a steel spring or 125 with the SLS spring.
