One of the cheaper brands but very iffy feedback/mechanical problems. "FOA", They will be at least $150US each.+ postage. http://f-o-a.com/shop/index.php?main_pa ... 92bdf20ce0
This price per corner will put alot of people off.

As mentioned on the radflo site, They are good for high speed stuf with high impacts. A normal 4wd will not really need these.

I have looked into them for mine as i have King coilovers also to make a matching bling suspension system, I might get them one day, But im using normal rubber bumps for now.

There is another option, think ive seen on ebay? They are a canister like the hydraulic, bit the can is filled with various rubber of different compounds for squishy adjustability.

I havent looked much mate, just this one, seems good, but will look at King.

$175 a corner.

Same for the shocks.

Cost plays a part, but ultimate fun is what im after, it will not be for my daily lol.

I know you get what you pay for, simple, but in a light zook, is the 4100 extra so much better ??

Wouldnt bother with 2.5. They are overkill already.

Yes Dank does. FOA. I am really not sure of FOA. Too many dodgy reports and parts problems.

I'm not sure but I think these would be great for a trail car as u could run less uptravel so it would be more stable on side slopes but would really help to stop hard landings when hammering it down the dirt roads between tracks
Best of both world

Yep, thats what im looking for, want as much up as possible, within reason, but far less impact when landing, cushion the blow so to speak.

I recon as they would help the vehicle immeasurably in relation to smacking hard on normal bump stops.
