| Post subject: | Fox airshocks test and results |
Just have to say the little bit of driving I've done so far with the air shocks has been very impressive. They absorb very well and are very soft. I was surprised at how well it handled. I hit a rounded ditch about 1.5-2' deep and maybe 5' across at 12mph and the frame practically didn't move. The wheels were all up and down like pistons but I barely felt it. The rear may need the 2.5 Fox for the weight of my buggy but for now it will work fine. I have a heavy buggy, and I'm sure that helps, but I would recommend this type of shock to anyone that may not have the money for coilovers but still wants the adjustable ride quality. Now for street driving I will have to see. The buggy has a tendency to lay over and stick a little until you turn the other way. Offroad it seems the bumps keep it from sticking so bad. High speed stability is yet to be tested but for a trail buggy or hill climber I think they will be awesome. |

Awesome, I plan on ditching the air bags and going this route on my new lighter weight 2 seater. Bags are great, but I'm too lazy to build the mounts |
