Mike, the shock rebuild prices have gone up a bit.
We couldn't even get a deal on doing a bunch at the same time.

I would be interested to hear your evaluation on the progressive rears that you are using with our progressive fronts, as compared to single rate rears. When I did initial testing a few years ago I couldn't detect any improvement in using progressive rears, and some disadvantages, probably due as much as anything due to the massive unsprung weight of the rearend. The Skandix front progressives, not made by Skandix BTW, are way too soft. I've had to send out replacement fronts to a number of owners who bought the Skandix progressives because they were offered at a lower price than ours. In fact the Skandix springs were available at such a low price, lower than my cost for our springs, that I bought a set, thinking that if they were decent I would sell them. Unfortunately the front rates were way off an indicated that who ever did the springs didn't do any testing. Our costs have to cover the dozens of springs that we tested and rejected.
