| KOH build shock size?
I was woundering if I should run 90mm or 110mm size shocks front and rear on my KOH build? Running droop setup with blue monkey trailing arms front and rear. I want it to sit low but not to low. Just trying to get input before buying. Thanks

I am wondering the same thing with my KOH dmg chassis coming friday...is yours a dual shock rear training arm setup? I am thinking about running 104 gmade zeros all the way around..not sure though.. here is a thread from DMG on his... DmG's/Double Stiffy for G6 |

I have the dual option in the back but I'm just going to run single. I don't see the need for double if you got a good set of shocks. I heard good things about the gmade shocks.

I noticed dmg had prolines with springs and gmade piggybacks without springs all on the rear...I am wondering what that does for the handling.

I always loved proline been around forever and make awesome top of the line products. I don't think we could go wrong with proline. I was looking at the team associated factory team short course shocks.

I've used both now on my rigs pro-lines are great - hardly never leek !! only bad thing - spring & rebuild kits are $$ they have some new ones out that look killer ! all G-made do leek some & need to be kept up with - when used a lot. springs are not to bad on price & they do come with different pistons - unlike pro-lines. G-mades are lower $$ shock in my trailing arm set up. in the rear - i run the spring shock with out any oil in it. the piggy back with oil. the G-Made piggy backs do have a external adjustment that allows you to change the pressure in the shock chamber some what, & make changes as you need to - kind-a cool & they do work ! the reason for only one set of shocks in the rear with oil, rear end is so light - no really need for 4 shocks with oil !! you could use super light shock oil in all 4, but may be harder to hit that sweet spot set up. two piggy back shocks with 35/40W oil - no springs (control shocks) two shocks no oil & springs (sprung shocks). way simple to set up - over a 4 oil shock set up - been working Great so far ! hope this helps. the DmG |
