As tight as you can get with two wrenches.

[rlplive]

Yup I figure you never want your shocks to fall off so I just took 2 wrenches and tightened the hell out of them. Not sure if this is right or wrong

eh, you dont want your bolts that tight, put lock-tite on the threads and tighten them but dont crank on them if u know what im saying, when the shocks arent in u should be able to move the whole a-arm assembly with spindle and all up and down without binding or sticking, when u tighten the really tight the front end binds and also crunches the bushings

Thanks for all the replies guys... i did tighten them rather tight but everything still moves freely that is supposed to so.......... Should work great...

good??? Thats it. how do they compare to the elkas that were on on your ex? Ithink im going towards them just because they have better prices.

They felt just as good as the Elkas (ST Comp/Reb adjustable) that were on my EX.

They soaked up everything, nice smooth ride in sand and track.

I rode my bros 450R with GTT Rebuilds (dual rate ZPS) and my 450R with JH Racing (TCS style) and it was hard to tell the difference other than different spring setups.

wait what is the TCS style? Is that non ZPS? Did the rebuilds lower your quad at all? I need to lower this thing down a little.

TCS uses a Tender springs, main springs, and crossovers. You can adjust the ride height. Yes it lowered the quad.
