I'm looking to upgrade my shocks to 3.0 and i'm in the research phase right now so i was wondering if anyone can answer some questions.
1. Kings or Fox? I see about a 50/50 split and from my reading it seems like the Fox's are a little better quality but more expensive. Is it worth the extra cost?
2. Replacement parts? I do all my own rebuilds/tuning/maintenance so can ordinary people get Fox parts? Kings seem to be readily available.
3. Would you buy a used/freshly rebuilt set of Fox 3.0 External bypass? I've found a set locally but they have quite a few miles on them but have been rebuilt. My concern is that its an external bypass so the main body is the wear surface that the piston/valve rides on. Does that wear out or am i being too paranoid?
4. Front coil springs. I believe the Fox fronts come with Eibach springs and there doesn't seem to be any other option? Are there any options for springs? I have Geiser springs currently and really like the progressiveness but don't know about the Eibachs. Are King springs better?
