Fox Coil Over or Fox Air?

[caglezxj]

Going to be building a semi light weight buggy, I have seen the both but what do you guys think are the best. The price makes the Fox Air Shocks look good.

I've run a few things with air shocks, and honestly I'm not a big fan. When I get to that point on my own rig I'll almost certainly be doing regular coilovers...can't beat the adjustability and reliability of 'em.

Thanks, I also like coilovers due to they have external reservoirs so no need for adjusting the nitrogen and oil inside

Well AFAIK, a reservoir is just more holding capacity. You still have to adjust them.

I would sway away (pun intended) from Fox. They use a wierd numbering system on the valves that makes tuning difficult. I will be using Rock Equipment AirShocks on my MJ, they have a threaded body that you can toss some coils on. More adjustability IMO.

X2 on the RockEquipment airshocks. Night and day difference from the SAW's I was running prior.

They kick ass.

At least in a horizontal plane.
