Just trying to decide before I order some shocks any info would help.

 

Pay the extra $$$ and get the axis
you'll be happier in the long run

 

Well, since your choices seem to be between two, I can tell you what I think abour TCS. I've had them on my Warrior for over a year. They completely changed the handling of the bike, allowing much faster & flatter cornering, Mine were set up for XC & tight woods and as a consequence they are quite stiff at slow casual riding, which I seldom do anyway, but at speed they smooth right out and the compression will adjust to whatever you desire. I bought mine at CT Racing, where they will interview you as to your riding style, skill level, weight, etc., so you'll get shocks made for you specifically, plus they'll give you a free revalve if you are not satisfied with the original.

 

Unless you are a pro rider your not going to need the beefier Axis shocks because your not going to tear up the shock before they need to be rebuilt anyway. For the money....Works. If you want first rate shocks go with TCS. I have never heard of anyone downing theirs.

 

I speak from experience! I had works triple rates from my 400ex with resoviors that I put on my raptor (just made spacers for top which is EXACTLY what tcs did!) tcs are works bodies with better vavling and different honda? resoviors. the works WERE ABSOLUTELY NO NO NO NO NO COMPARISON AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the works were new they only had about 5 hours on them from my 400, surprisingly if you look at the 400ex's front works and compare them to a raptors the only difference is the top uses spacers on the raptor and the 400's are 1" taller.

 

here is an algebra equation for ya

tcs front shocks+denton steering stabilizer=NO armpump!

 

how about the works stadium series under $600 with rez

 

I talked to Sandy at Works. He said the Stadium Series is pretty hard. No good for woods or trail riding. But if you plan on doing supercross jumps then they are a good choice.
