Seems like it'd look nice and help reduce squat.

That's what I'd be wondering too. Shocks aren't light. While it does look kinda cool, I can't say I ever heard anyone complaining that there wasn't enough damping on the original. [&:] Strange. Must be a bling item, or for SERIOUSLY hardcore surfaces.

I couldn't agree more... why add more weight when you do not have too..

I still feel like the rear could be stiffer on the baja platform sometimes. When under power you often get no decent steering.

Yeah, the price is a bit high for something that's really quite simple. But that's how every machined piece of metal in the large scale world is.
