Cheap shocks = terrible ride quality.

Save up get good shocks, not cheap shocks.

I was going to ask if Bilstein was looked at as a good company. Since I like the 5100s. You sell them, right?

bilstein also has 9100s and 9300s, among others. fox 2.0s also come in 5/8 or 7/8 shaft; the 5/8 being comparable to a 7100 and 7/8 to a 9100. all high end shock manufacturers have 2.0s, 2.5s, 3.0s, etc. an OME shock is comparable to bilstein 5100s. and dont forget about king, racerunner, SAW, and all the other guys.
