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  .
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?

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. Glyn   |

Glad to hear its awesome! It's OEM replacement shocks so it will fit in the factory mounts
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 
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) 2015 Discovery 4.5 Black pack Firenze red XS 2008 Corris Grey 110 XS USW (sold) 2011 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold) |

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! Craig Rogers
