1st ride with sport shocks

Just wanted to tell anyone that was considering installing a set of sport reservoir shocks that it is very much worth the expense, Erskin and Myself installed a set on our rhinos this past week and our first ride (wilbourns) was great. The sxs really turns well and has a very planted feel compared to the standard shocks, also seems to jump much better. I'll be tweaking on both rhino's this week and try some more jumps, may have to go with a lighter rear spring but overall in my opinion it has been the best mod so far. (Just a heads up), look on the Pheonix Arizona craigslist if your looking for a set, most of those guys do long travel kits.

about how much do the sell for????

just depends on who's selling them, there's finally some sxs racing coming to the east coast and the stock/limited classes mandate factory shocks, so the price has started going up a bit on these because they're legal in these classes. I have seen them sell for $500-800 for a complete set (4) But in my opinion they are worth the money. Most aftermarket shocks that are any good are going for $1200-1800, alot of money for trail riding and occasional racing. Also to run/race those aftermarket shocks you have to bump up a class and run with the deep wallets.


Maybe Erskin18 will chime in and give you his opinion, I believe he's as impressed with them as I am :D

most of the ones i've seen on Ebay have been going for more than 600 bucks.......apparently people think they are GOLD

They are worth the money!!!!!!!!!!! It was the best 600.00 I've spent on the Rhinney so far

If you don't the sport shocks you need them!!!! :afro:
One of the best mods added yet.

hurt mine the other night.mine r on the way :D :pirat:

We put the Sport Shocks on ours 4 months ago. There is a night and day difference between the standard shocks and the Sports even set at factory settings. Each trip I tweak them just a little and I am about to get them dialed in. It's the rebound on the rear that has taken longer to get under control.

I have been thinkin about the Sport shocks for awhile now. And some new seats. Z-28's right, I got a little catchin up to do. Problem is, I really like the stock shocks. I've tweaked the air pressure in my tires and put the stock shocks on softest setting in the rear, and I am very happy with the performance I'm getting. I'd like to test drive one who has them before I bite off 6-8 hundred bucks. Maybe I dont know what i'm missing

One ride is all it will take!!! :D

you can have my stock shocks cause they will never go back on the rhino as long as i own it. best money i've spent so far. corners like a dream and jumps much better.

That's what i said, but these shocks are the only ones legal in the stock/limited class of sxs racing, that's why they're getting crazy money for them. Hell i'd consider selling mine for that kinda money

almost hell - I can get a set of FOX or Bilsteins or a custom shock for $1200

not fox shocks..they are 1500 at dealer cost

used fox shocks (if you can find them) should be 1000-1200

the shock debate is very difficult and ongoing....but I am hunting....as are a ton of others - which = higher used costs and quicker online sales of used equipment
