What's funny is 5-6 years ago EVERYONE rode 888s and HATED boxxers, both for good reason. Now it's the opposite, and usually for good reason.

From my experience VA has a much steeper progression rate than PAR. I keep my fork pretty supple (3-5 clicks compression and 45psi in ATA, 90 in PAR) and using full travel is fairly easy...bottoming out on the flat landings really easy.
I have found that after a run or two you can usually dial in the PAR pressure to provide awesome small bump compliance while controlling the last 10% of your progression instead of the last 25%. My only complaint is the dive. Pretty hard dive when I brake hard but I don't think any DH fork can decide when I'm braking.
Maybe when I throw in the Avalanche cartridge with a bottom out cone I will take the PAR out.

i didnt think they were making it to fit the 88 ATA
It's like the fourth line down: http://www.avalanchedownhillracing.com/AVA Advantage Cart Kit.htm
"Current plans include kits for most of todays 8 inch travel forks, i.e. the 888, Boxxer, Travis, Kowa, Fox40 (oil seal and machining required)"
i know they were doing it for the coil 888, but didnt think the Air was part of it.
The left (damper) legs are the same on air and coil 888s.
