I may pick up a set of 300ex shocks if they are cheep. so I can lower mine for the local ice track on the lake. I was going to buy a lowering kit for the front. but that way I can have my shocks sent out at the same time the 300ex shocks are on it.

does it ride absolutly horible with thoes shocks on the front? or is there a little give? lol, prolly horible.

Not really sure about the ride since it's only been ran on pavement at the drag strip. But when i would hit a small bump on the return track after the drag it would kinda do like coil-overs on a car , if you have ever seen that. But you can definitely feel every little bump there is.

lol. thoe # seem funny to me. I have never drag raced a quad. But have been around drag racing snomobiles for like 5 years. 1/8 mile in anything over 5 secconds is slow to me. lol.
