I've been reading up on these on Pirate...

very tempting... $386 each (w/out reservoir) for 16" Coilovers, 2 springs, & dual rate hardware

My concern would be how's the availability of parts?

They are American made out of the Vegas area w/a 1 year warranty.

My concern would be availability if they went out of business more than anything... You would be screwed.

:eeek:

Exactly. There's another company I can't remember the name of, recently moved into the US out of south africa or something like that. Same deal, haven't been around long enough for me to trust them. I can call up tons of shops and get King, SAW, and Fox parts among others any day. Until these guys get to that point it's not worth the cost savings to me to chance it.

They won't ever break as long as I stay behind the computer screen :haha:

That is the reason I will most likely stay with the original plan 16" SAW Air shocks (to match the rear set). Air Shocks might be more quirky, etc. but it is a trail only rig.

Radflo is the other new company, they are actually fairly well extablished, no issues personally or that I have heard about so far with their product's.
