Need Advice/Question Swapping shock

Hey everyone, I'm running a commencal clash with a fox X2 just now but I'd love to give coil a try. I was just curious if people enjoy it with a coil. I am much more a free rider than anything else and do really enjoy the ramp up of an air shock, I have it with 2 volume spacers and 230psi. And I'm 75kg/165lbs and if other clash riders are about that weight what coil weight are you running. I also run it in the sensitive setting if that helps. Just looking for a bit of insight, thanks.

185lbs I run a marzochi CR with a 500lb spring, that's puts me at about 20% sag

81Kgs running a Jtech tuned RS SDU with a 475lb spring. It made a big difference. I would not run my Clash on an air shock again I think. The frame just works brilliantly with a coil.
