foxx struts & shocks anyone using?
Hi, I have a 70t with 2.7s and was looking at some ideas for suspension upgrades and was wondering if anyone is using the Foxx struts and/or rear shocks and your impressions, use would mostly be for spirited street driving. Thanks, Cort Chambers

No experience, but I have heard/read that they are the hot ticket (just bring your wallet). Double-adjustable, and much better (including street ride quality) than even the custom-valved Bilsteins. I think Excellence magazine did a track comparison test on them a while back.

In mountain biking there are no other shocks than Fox

We set up couple of race cars with complete Fox system and that is definite over kill for the street cars. Triple adjustable Bilstein is more than adaquate for front running GT3 cars. We have not seen any major advantage using the Fox system.

As Jorian said, Fox is a damn good mtn. bike shock, but the best in my opinion for that arena is still Foes Fab! The Fox service and quality is very good, very helpful over the phone as I have had to deal with them many times with blown up shocks, not the products fault I just overabuse my gear. I have to say I have broken far less shocks from Fox than I have anything else on my bike. So if the quality carries over to the car shock which I'm sure it does you dont have anything to worry about. This would just be tremendous overkill for a streetcar and on your wallet.
