YEP! that's about what I expected to hear. A full set (4) cost me less than one of my Works. But they are intended for set up. There's nothing truer than that saying "you get what you pay for in off-road shocks" I'll blow at least a grand or better on just the shocks when it's all said and done. That's getting close to what I'll have invested in the rest of the build total but the shocks are whats going to make or literialy break this machine!
It doesn't matter how good the buggy looks , how much HP you got, how much the wheels cost... if you got to baby it down the trail it's all for nothing! Bad shocks will suck the life out of a chassis with the wear,tear and strain they inflict, not to mention the strain on your body!
I got no problem justifying this expense
