The coolest thing about these shocks, besides being really lightweight, is that the spring rate is fully adjustable by the consumer. For FREE! That means, that for those of you who love to tweek with things and play around with different setups, you can do it almost instantly with the hand pump. You just adjust the amount of air in the air spring. No need to pull the shock, take off the springs, order a new set of springs, put them on, re-mount the shocks.
This means, I would assume, that if you add wheel spacers, get wider a-arms, or anything like that, you can adjust the shocks yourself instead of having to get them rebuilt by a shop. At least that is how I understand it. If I am wrong, someone please set me straight. Thanks!

I hope they are cheaper than that....these shocks have to have a lower manufacturing cost (No springs,oil,valves,etc) I was hoping these would be the best of both worlds.

From what I hear they been running em in Motocross sleds for years.

Fox Shocks
you can get them from fox or you can order them from your shock builder (pep, ect) and they'll custom build them to your specs. I wouldnt say they have everything a regular shock has because the valvery inside of them is pretty sophisticated compared to a works. Axis and tcs and zps are very well built as well though.
