I dont know. I cant imagine anyone paying that for shocks. Doesnt really matter how good they are. People wont even want to try them at that price. I guess we will have to wait and see what price they end up when they hit the stores.

Status: offline 		I forget who, but a frequent contributor chimed in to say the while $200 is the MSRP of this shock system, it's commonly being sold for $150-160.

That makes it MUCH more competitive when comparing top-shelf shocks. Actually even if they WERE $200 I'm sure they kick the butts of UE's Supermaxx shocks & Progressive's piggybacks, both of which are ~$200 per set.

I change the oil in them every couple of months and will probably rebuild them this winnter.

They are great especially when combined with a good set of springs like the RC Raven Dual Rates.
