are the works stadium shocks zero preload. if they are how do they compare to the others. they are way cheaper

 

NO they are not.I was sitting to a guy next to me at the starting gate last race that had them.He sent them to tcs and had the zps thing done.HE said it was like night and day.I am not sure if he said tcs but I think it was.

Is zero preload a better way to have ashock set-up for hard riding & jumping quads?

 

DS650DAVE,
From everything that I've heard and read, ZPS is great for racing. I was told that it keeps the wheels on the ground better.

 

From what I understand the stadium series are in fact Works version ZPS shocks. Now, what I do know is that ZPS style shocks have 1 real purpose and that is for the quad to sit lower at rest. This means that you are lower to the ground for cornering. The ZPS are stiffer even though they have full travel when jumping, they compress stiffer once you get past the rest point so they do not bottom out. I spent alot of time on the phone with Works and I love them. I had them set up so that I can swap 2 springs and then they are zps height. A stock 400ex Works shock has 10.5" travel and it is supposed to sag 3", with the zps, it sags 4-5"

 

Are you saying that you can go grom triples to zps. do they have the same valving and it sounds like the stadiums are rock hard.
