How much difference is there between a Fox Vanilla 180mm and a Vanilla 160mm?
If you already have a 180mm fork and you really want a 160mm one, could you just drop the 160 spring in there and Bob's your Uncle?
BUMP!
Specialized Enduro Evo uses a 180 chassis at 170mm - think it is a coil and not the float.
And old thread about lowering here but does not look good:

Think the Float version can be lowered easier. Don't know how well any of them perform.

About 20mm?
Sorry 😥
The lowers are different they have extensions below the axle and stronger, the crown is a bit thicker
Heard back from Mojo on this if anyone's interested - can be done easily enough with the shorter spring and a spacer on the negative spring.
Excellent, get them bought and we will have a shot when we are out in summer

There's a bit more to it than that, but yes it can be done.
