you can spend from $20 to $2500 a piece, and the more you spend, the better they work :wink: Fox start around $180 or so.

Fox shocks work really well, I love them, as far as the King shocks go, I am sure they are the same though, I never ran the King shocks.

We need more info.....
It depends on what kind of riding you do, what you want to do with your torsion (take the bars out, loosen it for good ride, or stiffen it for ground clearance), And what you're trying to achieve.

I just gave 16.95 each for mine at auto zone. And they will do and thing I need them to. If I had to run the Fox or King on a buggy, you could not give them to me. :shock: But as Jr. said it depends on what you are going to do with your buggy.

Then, i guess the next question is how much do you want to spend? If not much, go the auto-zone route, if a little more, try the Rancho 9000's, or if a little more yet, try race runner, Fox, or King!
