[QUOTE="82toyomud, post: 1352257, member: 16001"] When it comes down to it all shocks are the same, the only differences are the quality in the machining and the quality of the springs used. Talking with Jason Pauly and looking at the insides of Fox's, Walkers, FAO's and SAWs' their all the same. If you can spend the cash to have the piston that is specifically tuned for your weight of car, motion ratio, and sprung/unsprung ratio then do it, but you can achieve the same quality of ride with a competitors shock with some extra tuning. I've taken shocks designed for a 2000 lb sand car and tuned them to work excellent on a 500 lb car, 400 lb car, and 350 lb car; then taken shocks designed for snowmobiles and tuned them to work in the desert. A shock is a shock is a shock. [/QUOTE]
