if you're down for it vs if you're up to it

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. 'If you're down for it' implies a willingness or enthusiasm to do something, while 'if you're up to it' suggests the ability or readiness to do something. The choice between the two depends on whether you are focusing on the other person's willingness or capability.
