Fox vs King 2.0: remote res shock comparison
Just saw this comparison online and thought it may interest some... Not sure if anyone is running either of these systems and can add further experience?
I recall maybe MR was running kings and upgraded to armada or something?
Also has anyone had any experience with the new OME remote res BP51's? They look a treat but I imagine would be very $$

No I'd love King Smoothies but the Amadas will be fine. I haven't read the article but the Kings are King.
I have a good mate that runs in Cliffhanger on Kings. Loves them. He has just fitted the new OME remotes into his Ranger and rates them highly. Big coin but he liked their adjustability better than the Kings. Cost him more than $1k a corner which is on par with the Kings.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Blokes are getting quoted $3700 for a set for Kings..
Are they worth $1000 a corner.. Doubt it..
Maybe best on the market but there seems to be some very close followers.

I reckon once you go for a ride in the car you'd consider it money well spent.
I am pretty sure liftlid runs kings? I have driven behind him through the high country with him getting 2 feet of air off each and every woopdie doo every hundred meters... He reckons it was like driving on the highway.

Yeah good shocks make the world of difference but 4k is getting up there. Considering if you think about about it they are just a shiny alloy tube with a piston connected to a rod and some shims.
I could make the same thing at work for probably sub 500 and just buy a shim kit from kings for tuning.

The price of kings of late is due to the dollar. When I bought mine they were nearly half price.
Edit. You'll find that the 2.0's will be cheaper then 2.5's. Which I believe the quoted price mentioned is for

Yeah nup. They may be top notch but 4k could be be spent elswhere i reckon. I could almost justify 2k on shocks, almost. Id have to had done absolutely everything on my car before i would spend that kind of money on shocks. But hey, i spent stupid coin on a motor so who am i to say? Lol. But i love it...

I though the 2.0's were around $400 each.... Or am I missing something?

Yea I realized the currency change.. only picked the 2-2.5 difference once I've re read it.
But apart from the y62 does that coil over comparison have any reliance to us? Or do the use the same build for coil overs as they do standard shocks?
