the support just isnt there to fit our demands.  i want to change over to 14"s on the front of my car, its looking like we cant get any more shafts for matts shocks so he needs to buy another shock- so we may just become a fox or king dealer with an order of 4-12 to start for the two cars. 

king has some pretty neat external adjustment capability that id love.

Shitty. I don't understand not having parts available.

I bought two complete spare shocks, so I have one complete spare shock and damn few spare parts from the one I fucked.... I could see moving to 2.5s if I'm able to step up my game but that's hopefully a next-year trigger. I don't think I'm in a position to help with a buy-in, but if you're a few short of a minimum I might think about it.

I would choose fox over king. Wayne is at Fox now and they have great support at the big races.

I hate to say Foa but they are doing better. Highly available parts. Cheap. Tuning at KOH. Still would go fox but it's an option.

I can try for Profender parts again if interested.............  Maybe even from Derek in Canada.

Foa improving? Would take a lot to get over the "eew" factor there.

If you have the worst product in the market,  how hard is it to "improve"??

The explanation to me when I originally was ordering my king shocks is that they were built to order and therfore not readily available. 
I'm not sure about individual parts but I chose the fox shocks based on overall cost Vs availability.
And besides I'm more of a rec wheeler than a racer.
