I'm gathering parts to have a Jimmy Smith type buggy built, mainly for crawling/hill climbing. We go to the dunes about once a year, so it'll have some limited sand running/jumping, but not much. I see that some of these guys that beat the **** out of their buggys are running these, Cameron, Tanner's (I think) and some others. I know the Eleanor buggy is running them too and it's ran atleast one of the ECORS races.
I tried searching on Pirate and I don't want to ask the question there as everyone will tell me to run 3.0" coilovers and 4.5" 15 tube bypasses on each corner. Are these holding up to the abuse you guys are giving them? Do you notice any shock fade after running them hard for extended periods of time? Does anyone know how they performed on the Eleanor buggy when it's been raced?
