Basically I was wondering if it live up to your expectations in terms of reduced stiction and added durability?

To be honest, I bought my 36 Floats so everyone else would know I had more money than them.

Best upgrade ever. I couldn't go back to riding a non-Kashima fork now.

No particular maintenance on mine & not a sign of wear. I just wash round the seals then lube with some garlic infused olive oil.

(Keeps the Vampires off.)

My 36 Floats are fine a year on, service them regually anyway theyre super slippy. If Fox were charging extra on top Im not sure I would buy it as an extra.......Devilles are too close in price

Sorry, I was being a bit tongue in cheek. My '11 Van is leagues better than my old '08 Float 36, but a lot changed in those 3 years. I saw a worn kashima fork on mtbr, but I always take those stories with a healthy dose of salt.
Funny how you don't hear about Canadian riders complaining about stanchion wear, and those forks must get some of the most abuse in pretty horrible conditions.
