which one do you guys think are better for the revolt?
- kings and Fox are around $500 each shock with coils....
-and elkas are around 3,500 - 4,000............. for the set of four (I think)

which ones would you guys go for?

- vote!!!!

Kings, of course! What's cooler than having a big ole fat KING remote reservoir sticking out in plain sight on your desert racer. Even if the Fox's are marginally better..........you can't beat the name out there!!!

so are you saying that fox's perform better, but kings look cooler?

Honestly I haven't run either one. Maybe I shouldn't have voted. But I can't believe either is a bad choice, but let's face it, there might be a reason the big boys with millions of dollars in their pockets run kings! And it's not because they are the least expensive!

How come ELKA did not make the list?

I was trying to compare the more "economic" brands....

-but if you guys want, we can put them on the poll. I dont think I can modify it now.... Maybe Bear Foot can do it....

I ran Fox coil overs on my Edge Barracuda and it was by far the best $2000 i spent on that machine. They would soak up anything I though at them.
Can I ask why you are upgrading to coil overs? Because in my opinion the extra performance doesn't counter act the extra weight.

I work for the Lucas Oil Off Road series and the top drivers are around a 50/ 50 split between Fox and Kings. They are both good shocks.

On the glen helen race I noticed lots of fading on the shocks, and the suspension just didnt respond the same after a couple of laps.... I couldn't push the car like the beginning, I felt some lack of performance, in which I see it as a disadvantage....... Im hoping that the coilovers will eliminate the fading and give me better performance.... or am I thinking wrong? will I still be getting fading with the coilovers?
