i was thinking about buying this TCS Front Suspension, Dual Rate w/out Rezzies supposedly set up for XC/MX for a 160 lb rider. i like to ride trails and mx and i am 130 lb. these are for stock a arms which i have, but i also think in the future i would like to get longer arms. i think i can get these for around 300, do u guys think they would be good for me? i have a pic but dont know how to post it, thanks

Desent shocks but I'd get rezzies and have the shocks rebuilt. They will beat the hell out of the competitor of price... Works.

I would lean towards getting them with the rezzies, if you can afford it. I would also recommend planning ahead. If you know that you may get longer a-arms down the road order your shocks for that set-up. Don't forget to keep in mind if you're going to get a longer swing arm too. Your shocks may be a little stiff, but you could adjust the setting and soften it up until you pop for the arms. You may want to get the shocks set up for around 150lbs, a little closer to your weight (and room to grow) :D
It's a bummer when you have to send your shocks in to get them rebuilt and have to wait 2+ months to get them back. Give TCS a call, they'll ask all about your quad set-up and your riding preference. They're very helpful and did a great job rebuilding my stock rear shock into a TCS Sag Control.

I have TCS shocks and there really good Im running tripple rates with ZPS and rezzies. I think you should do it .. and when down the line you wanna upgrade the suspention you could always add some rezzies im not sure about ZPS tho:o
