Hard to beat Fox or Rockshox to the punch. I’m pretty sure Fox, at some point, had a 20mm spacer in the 40s positive spring that you could move into the negative spring to run it at 180mm. And I think RockShox BoXXers were coming at 180mm on Enduro Evos at some point.
My biggest issue with swapping brands is it gets harder to track down parts, like your firmer negative spring for example. Everything I’ve ever owned has been RockShox, for better or for worse, and now I have a treasure trove of parts to tune my forks with as a result of all of the coil conversions and damper upgrades and just general spare parts that have accumulated over the years. 35mm stanctions on everything is great.
