I am guessing that its fairly new technology. I know that they are available, but they were not yet listed on the Fox website....said they are working on it. When I talked to Mark at Fox, I asked a bunch of Qs and he said that their product is not limited to a single ratio of 5 or 6 valving options like the Bilsteins. They can put together the valving in any ratio you require. The adjustable compression dampening system sounds similar to what the Rancho 9000s offer, but in the case of the Fox design, the primary setting can start at whatever requirements your system needs (when they build it--custom) and then you can go up or down from there. As well, since these are reservoir shocks, they can withstand the pound of fast-paced travel (without overheating) and are rebuildable...and if so desired can be revalved at any point to meet your changing needs. Most of their suppliers will re-valve them for free if it isnt just right after your original order. I know they are not cheap...but it sounds like a pretty nice option, if you can afford it and want the ability to tune the ride. I was told by Mark (@ Fox) and as well by a sales guy at SDHQ (found on pirate; pirate members get 10+% off through them) that these shocks are increasingly popular for (and were designed for) the Heep guys, who do alot of mixed driving...they wanted the adjustability and Fox delivered. Sounds like it would work great for me (and many of us driving EBs).
Not trying to sell anything, just looking for anyone with some feedback. I need to get my measurements together...but I am hoping to get some ordered by the end of the week...would love some feedback by then.
I already left Lee @ Raceshock two voice messages and an email...but, I will not beg anyone to take my business...few discounts are that good. No hard feelings and I hope he is OK--usually a solid vendor only 'flakes' when something is wrong; I certainly hope thats not the case.
Cheers!
John
