What's the difference between these two? Right now my ride is really stiff, and I like it that way. I still get some pretty good flex though.

nitro is better and its newer and better and upgraded from the hydro

a little smoother, you can barley tell.

The nitro is a gas charged shock and should ride a little smoother. IMHO it's worth the added like $25 when you buy and RC lift.

its still gonna be a crappy shock. if you want a smooth riding shock, get old man emu nitros.

Yeah but thats a huge price diffference

fixed.

That's a huge concern for me, I have very little spending power and I want to get a quality kit, but I don't want to pay over-the-top for it.

Yeah we know the Old man EMU's are great but he was asking about the the difference between hydros and nitros from RC. Im sure he has already looked into old man EMU

i dont think he is expecting it to ride like a Caddy either...............

Actually my suspension rides really rough, but I like it that way. I have near instantaneous recovery from huge bumps, and I'd really like my new suspension to be almost as stiff.

XJ?2010

haha well ya gotta love that logic

hubbazoot

What?

one is charged with gas, the other is oil. theyre still ****ty twintube shocks. the hydros will ride softer but fade after 3 miles, the nitros will ride harder and be stiff yet offer no control and fade after 5 miles.

Thank you for keeping things in perspective, you're making this decision making process much easier for me....

I am on a budget, I like the RC kit because it has everything I need in one go, and it's not too horribly expensive. I looked at the old man emu shocks, and I can't figure out their site.
