Are they very easy to compress when on the quad? As opposed to the stock honda ones?
I just put my PEP's on and they seem very easy to compress till the big spring starts workin? Im guessing thats right since the little springs eat up the small bumps and the big spring takes care if landing off of jumps.
They are set up for a 200lb rider just wondering how soft they should feel.

Did you get the zps? If so then it will allow the quad to sit lower. Usually on a triple rate the smaller springs will feel softer than stock until you reach the main spring.

Are they valved for the +2 a-arms? Because if they were valved for a 200lb rider with stock a-arms, then you mount them up to +2s they will feel softer and need to be revalved.

Yes they were valved for +2 a arms and 200lb rider.
They work great they just seemed a little soft. This is the first pair of Tripple rates ive owned so i was just wonderin. And no they are not ZPS.But it does sit a little bit lower than before.

I havent had time to really test em out to see.

Ive just ridden it in the street in front of my house and pavement doesnt do much for testing the shocks out.

Im sure they are fine i jsut wasnt expecting them to be that soft at first.

PEP "Limited Mass" Front and Rear Shocks:

The Limited Mass shocks, short for "Limited Mechanical Active Suspension System" account for about 40% of PEP shock sales and are designed for Pro and "A" level riders that demand the most from their suspension. This type of PEP shock has provided pro ATV racers with a championship winning suspension. To be more precise 3 SCORE ATV Championships, 3 Mickey Thompson Entertainment Group Championships, Over 30 Pro and A level AMA Grand National Championships, and countless local and regional championships throughout the world.

Fronts:

Adjustable triple rate springs and crossovers are used. The mechanical active damping with external damping adjustment increases the ability to turn faster by allowing less "chassis roll". It also allows more of a "lift" for jumps and an anti-bottoming control when landing.
Retail price is $750 a pair

Rear:

This rear shock is available for no-link applications, such as the ones found on Laeger and Lone Star frames. Offering the same qualities of the front LTD Mass shocks, they should be used with LTD Mass front shocks only. It features a dual spring with tunable crossovers allowing a firm to soft spring rate. Adjustable preload, compression and rebound damping are also found on this popular race shock.
Retail price is $795
