Did i make a mistake?.. Are TRG or LEDA shocks better?
I ordered the front and rear kit from TRG. It cost quite a bit; but now while i was looking online I came across LEDA. I noticed there price would turn out cheaper, I believe, for a set of remote reservoir shocks.
My question is, did i make a mistake in getting the trg kit, or are the bilsteins they use superior to the leda remote units? I really wanted remote reservoir, and now im kicking myself, because for the same money, or even a couple hundred cheaper i could have gotten what i wanted. geez... |

to add to the confusion there are also JRZ, Fox, Moton. several of these companies overlap (i.e. there aren't 5 different actual manufacturers here) but few if any people have tried different brands back to back on the same car.
Good luck, though.

hi jack,
for all out racing. I have the 935 front and rear spring plates. I was just wondering if i may have short changed myself on shocks, since everything else is top of the line so far. I dont know much about suspension specifics, so i cant really tell a difference. to me the leda's look cooler because of the remote reservoir, but as to which is truly "better" im not sure. I am going to be running 600/800 spring rates for reference... what would you choose, and recommend? I just spent about 2400 on the front kit, and upside down rear kit from trg. will the be valved perfect for these rates? appreciate you help. thanks. |

Does TRG sell or carry any other manufactor? If they do, you might be able to just exchange them with the other option. Have you called them back with the question? I'm sure, in the end along with making a buck (because that is why we are all in business), I'm sure they want you to be HAPPY.
Give them a ring, quick before they ship and see what they can offer you. No one knows their products better than they do. Sure its biased, but most answers are. At least it might help settle your nerves. Do a search on Jack's car while waiting to see his response. The big difference would be car weight though I think your spring rates are similar from memory. __________________________________________________ _ EDIT: I'm an idiot. Forgot this was a "search" response and had several windows open current and otherwise. Instead of making this wasted bandwidth, what was your final decision and outcome? __________________________________________________ _
