Has anyone used these, how is the quality?

I need a new Shock for my Skid, and spring, and I was looking at this one. Any feedback?
 
There so-so and will get you back in business and would be good if you don't want to spend much.Another thought would be to buy a used shock out of the classified section and have it gone through.I believe Pioneer performance sells used shocks too and you could get one thats ready to go.That might not cost much more, call Bruce I'm sure he'd be glad to answer your questions.

How much around to rework a shock? both could be reworked, they aren't totalled, just don't offer alot of absorbing anymore, pretty harsh ride.

Perhaps I could cancel the Kimpex shock, and just get both the stock shocks reworked.
 
progold

I replaced all my shocks on my 91 indy 500 with kimpex progold shocks ,they do work good but are non rebuildable ,i think you woulde be better off with a rebuildable shock.
 
Its somewhere around 40 bucks a shock to have pioneer performance rebuild them for you, and Bruce REALLY knows his stuff.
 
are stock proaction shocks re-buildable??? I don't think they are but are there any other OEM yammie shocks that are and would fit into an XTC rear skid??

Thats what Bruce told me, the Stockers aren't rebuildable on my sled.

While I may be better off buying a rebuildable shock, I only want something that will work for a few yrs, and not break the bank.

I went ahead and ordered the Kimpex shock, and it already arrived today. It was only 85bux new, so with shipping there and back, rebuilding, and buying a set of used rebuildable shocks, the cost is hard to compare.
