Just thought I'd share my findings after half an hour to myself in the workshop the other day & thought i'd give my prev recon'd Pace RC35MXCs a quick service.
They've always suffered from stiction, I think the fork is generally reknowned for this... however I thought i'd switch up lubes & after cleaning the internals down I used some Whistler Premium Lubes (WPL) 'Absolute Grease' - marketed as a totally bio-lube, i'm guessing it's going to be friendly to both the carbon legs and elastomers... https://us.wplbike.com/collections/lubricate/products/absolute-bike-grease
The difference it's made is incredible, plush, small bump compliance etc... really has drastically improved it!
I've been experimenting with lots of greases over the last few years in different applications on the bike. This stuff very much has the consistancy of butter, it's quite a thin grease - not one that I'd generally use in harsh weather situations or particularly unsealed hubs/headsets etc as it washes out much easier than other greases i've tried, but in terms of slipperiness - it's mega!
