I was ready to buy bilsteins but I learned that they only offer a 30 day warranty on their product. May still go with them but I'm going to shop around a little, I'm trying to get feedback on the rustys RX 200, they have a much better warranty and the guy from rustys told me that he had only had 1 set come back and it was off a jeep speed rig. They are also built in the US, trying to find more info on them.

bilstein, fox, OME, king, SAW....
douche tech makes "better" shocks, but why bother? the only race rig that runs them is a douche tech truck. theres a reason why you only see a certain few names on race rigs.

My 9100s lasted about 2 months before they started rusting. It's complete bull**** that I spent a ridiculous amount of money on shocks and they look like doodoo because they're made for people in brocal
