Ohlins look sexy, are they worth the money?

[FordDealer]

I run a 2000 SRX with standard shocks (Kayaba's I guess.) and I'm looking for performance AND better ride quality. My little 700 can hang with the newer sleds, but after a long day my back reminds me I'm not 20 anymore. What would I gain with better quality shocks, Ohlins or other brands?

 

[A couple of bucks]

My feeling are.....you can get WAAAAAAAY more bang for your buck if you rebuild them. If you send in your rebuildable shocks to Pioneer, they can rebuild,revalve & respring for your specific riding style & exact body weight + riding gear. For less money too.

And if you go a few more steps and use Viper shocks and limiter straps you can get an even more cushiony ride and some more travel.

10-4 on the viper set-up . Wider and longer travel equals a better machine. While you are at it viperize the rear skid too.

Joe did your mean "vaporize".
Better yet get rid of that no action Pro Action. I installed an Apex GT skid. Wow what a difference.

Mac where have you been hiding? No I meant Viperize but your point is accurate the Apex GT skid is better but a lot more work than just Viperizing the SRX suspension... Lets ride that thing this year....
