Default High compression vs. factory shocks????

what differences will i see between the 03 baja normal compression shocks vs the high compression X shocks. I am hoping they are a stiffer ride. Anyone have some good info?

Mainly dunes but some trails. I am getting the kms efi in the next month and the turbo soon after if not the same time. I don't like how my 03 dives into corners and side hills. I have tried adjusting the present shocks and they are to soft still. I was hopine I could pick up an 05 X with the high compression shocks and put the efi and turbo on that and save the money on aftermarket shocks??

try this for help dura blue anti roll bar I dont use one but it sounds like what you might be looking for, click on the word "anti roll bar" on menu in the link, to the right for more detail. 222 also uses them PM him. maybe put a post on sway bar / anti roll bar to pull some other members thoughts.
