Not only are they a easy quick direct bolt on- but this way you can sell your stock forks to offset a good chunk of the cost.
The Trax kit is more of a stiffer sporty ride from all what I have read. Unless that is what you are going for?
I *thought* I didn't have a problem with the rear shocks until I put on the 17 forks...then I noticed the rear on hard bumps more so. So I put Ikons on the rear. Also better than stock.
I remember reading about your upgrade to the '17 forks. If it's not too much bother - what was the final cost?
I'm going for comfort which would lend itself more to the '17 forks but the roads are really, really bad here and I bottom out frequently on both the front and back (but more so the front I believe) which I think (again my knowledge of suspensions peaked when I wrote the word "suspension") would require a stiffer, sportier spring?
For the rear I am definitely going Ikon. I like the Gears-Dynamic shocks (forum member Camoto has a thread on them) but they might be more than I really need.
