Well bearing in mind that it was designed to run with a Progressive 5th or Fox Vanilla RC I'd say a refurbed one of either. Why not a PUSH'd Vanilla? Easily one of the best shocks to this day...

to me they feel nicer, but i have never used both a steel and ti on exactly the same shock so have no direct comparison.
