OEM replacement Fox Shocks
Hi all!
I'm able to get 2.0 smooth body fronts and remote reservoirs rears fox shocks for my 110, has anyone had any experience of these? I'm getting them cheap through work Smile.
My 110 is used on a lot of forest tracks as well as daily family use and off Roading occasionally so it's used hard!

Currently has worn 3" springs and unknown shocks so its wallowing and clattering everywhere!

Thinking of dropping to 2" and get new HD springs and super pro bushes?

Theoretically should ride a dream when properly tuned? [/quote] 2008 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold)

I have no experience on Fox [Koni for me] but I assume JE Engineering would'nt recommend them if the they were poor quality.

Fox shock as pretty awesome.....but don't they come with a matching price tag?

Also there are the new Terrafirma ones: http://www.terrafirma4x4.com/product_detai...amp;grp=39. I heard a rumor they are made to the exact specs of fox-shocks. Just need to buy the mounting kit too.

or if you are looking to keep standard mounts then you can't go wrong with OME, Koni, Bilstein etc.

Glad to hear its awesome! It's OEM replacement shocks so it will fit in the factory mounts Smile no mods required apart from mounting remote reservoirs to chassis.
I'm getting these at cost price as a mate owns a fox Mtb repair centre so getting these thru him Very Happy

Can't wait!

What are good quality +2 HD springs? Shall I go for gen Lr bushes or poly like super pro? 2008 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold)

i am running +5" fox shocks front on a truck with remote res, they transformed the vehicle.

i would go for OME or Eibach from Buccy for the lift. they have the Eibach made now to their specs and they are pre compressed so dont sag like the OMEs!

Super pro Bushes is def a worthwhile investment. Cheers

Fox don't make anything badly.

In pretty much every aspect of their services, Moto, MTB, Off-road, Snow Mobile etc.......

Fox = Awesome!

They also make great clothing which I have a lot of too........

Did I mention, I'm a Fox fan?

If you don't want them, I'll have them! Smile Craig Rogers

Can i get some long term feedback on your shocks? i'm looking at the Fox Shocks Remote Res with Adjusters ( +2). what are your thoughts? are they reliable?
