It's kind of hard to explain but my 32 talas ctd evolution doesn't seem flowy and doesn't look satisfying when it compresses. It feels a bit stiff even though I have 25 percent sag.

did it suddenly seem worse or always like this?

FYI you can retrofit the newer Factory and Performance dampers into Evolution forks, so check with Fox.

Yes, you could start by going to a bike shop that sells Fox forks, tell them what year and model fork you have, and ask about the damper upgrade. It may only cost you $100-200 and will make a huge difference to a Fox Evolution fork.

Only by buying a new CSU, which is not cheap. The performance gains from the kashima coating are going to be negligible compared to what upgrading the damper will get you.

If you're getting the damper upgrade, it's worth checking the cost of the air spring upgrade also, better to spend your money there than for the kashima uppers.
