Anyone else have any issues with 5th element (coil) shocks and the rebound damping? Mine has begun to not provide any damping. I suppose I'll have to send it in and have a "pro" figure it out(?).

i've got a manitou SPV 4 way coil ( just a 5th element with a different name)
lack of rebound damping can occur when the piggyback reservoir pressure drops or if you have a blown seal
check if repressurising the chamber helps, if not then you might need to get it looked at
i've had both things happen to me

Yes this does seem to be a common failure point for the 5th coils. Its hasn't happened to mine but I've heard of it happening to a few people. You'll need to send it to progressive for repairs.
