I was just wonder what to expect. As far as how they will preform on the track. and if i will be in love with them like everyone says. I guess I will find out at loretta lynns

 

I think you'll like them, far better than stock or Works..... I have the full set on mine, much more forgiving than stock if you land badly.

Do a search on TCS in the Honda forum as well as the suspension forum, I have posted many times as well as many others....

 

hey I was thinkin about gettin some works for the front of my 300ex. I was talkin to cstark and he said he didnt like them because they made the front of his quad sit too high. I saw tcs shocks in a mag and they were double in price compared to the works. my question is can works set some up to sag a little so they dont sit too high? what about the pep shocks, they were a little cheaper than the tcs. how good are those? I just want to not bottom out, but still be able to corner. Im not into racin, just recreation. thanx

 

You can see how low my 400EX sits by going to the link in my sig.

Works may be able to setup some sag in the shocks, but I have heard a lot of complaints about Works bottoming easily. The ones I have dealt with seemed way too soft which will not only hurt you on the jumps, but cornering as well.

PEP is good, they are like TCS, basically Works bodies that are improved, their valving system is different than TCS (more similar to Works), but they work on the zero preload setup as well.

My TCS's were bought with recreation in mind, that's mostly what I do, although I do race, but mainly because it's fun.

Really, any way you go you will be better off than stock, it just depends on how much better you want to be. The quality of the shocks seems to be directly proportional to how much they cost...

 

Does TCS or PEP have a website so I can compare some info??? What do you think about AXIS shocks?

 

TCS can be seen at CT Racing they are located within the same building.

I don't have a website for PEP.

Axis are very nice shock, although I haven't ridden any personally. They are setup a lot like TCS except they use much heavier bodies and shafts. Probably some of the best currently available. You can get a little info on them at Shoc Connection

Both the websites listed are pretty shy on useful data, but at least you can see pictures.

 

what about works triple rate, are they any better? atc250r did you bottom out your works? I just dont think I can talk my wife into lettin me spend $650 on tcs shocks, is there any middle ground option?

 

Works are descent shocks, better than stock. I haven't owned a set, only ridden bikes with them & talked with several people that run them. A common complaint with the bigger jumpers is bottoming. Out of the box they seem too soft. Buy the best shocks you can afford, if that's triple rate Works, I'm sure you will be happy with them. Then, if down the road you begin to want more, send them to TCS for an upgrade...

 

does tcs to revalving or something, or do they take trade ins? yea I'll probably get the works I got to do somethin cause I'm bottomin bad. thanks again for all your help.

 

TCS front shocks are Works that have been upgraded, valving hardware changes, hard anodizing, ZPS, etc... So if you have Works to begin with, they can take them and make all the changes for a nominal fee, then you have TCS shocks....
