opinions on TCS shocks

[sharpshooter]

I'm probably going to order these [thats front and rear]for my 400ex.I mainly ride mx for fun on weekends.
Just wanted to hear comments about these shocks if you run them.
Before anyone starts I've already chosen these over elka.
Also I'm looking at the top of the line TCS.
I just need a nice ride because I have some major back problems[can't ride stock anymore].

I am in the same boat as you, I want PEP ZPS, but I don't think I can handle the wait again so I am really considering TCS ZPS. I have been doing a lot of research and I have have heard nothing but good things about them...so far they sound great.

[sharpshooter]

yeah I've only heard good things also

[Dave400ex]

I think if I was to buy new shocks right now again I would get TCS. My cousin had the old TCS and liked them so I'm sure they are getting even better.

I say Buy the mofo's

[400exBro]

gues what i am in the same boat....

i reall looked into the tcs race seris which come with triple rates, 5/8 shaft, comp adjust and zps.. for only 800 and the wait time is only a couple weeks from what i hear....

i didn't want to start a new thread so check out the thread i created before, "anyone running pep zps lt shocks...." and near the end there is some good info on the tcs stuff...

who are some dealer i would be able to go throguh???

thanks

Check out the site sponsor (C&D Racing). I just ordered a set of LT TCS fronts from them.

[Dave400ex]

Bro I really think you should get the TCS shocks. Fred how much were those if you don't mind saying?

[400exBro]

thanks warriorman but i would like to have more info about them... how buils them, what kind of warrenty... and people reports etc...


i don't hear much bad about pep except for the waiting time and that is about it....

also does tcs uses a zps spring or do they do it through the valving??

I had my Rear shock rebuilt by TCS and they did and outstanding job on it. I wouldn't buy a new rear shock. Have them rebuild yours. it will be cheaper and they said it is as good or even better than the one they build. They look really cool as well. They did a black annadized coat on the outside of the housing and put a metalic black spring on it. It cost me 350 to have mine done. It will Cost about 450 to have it turned into a zero preload shock. Very worth the money though.

[Dave400ex]

Bro I understand. There isn't much info out there because not a lot of guys run them. My cousin had the old TCS and they were top notch. For anything less then racing Nationals all the time I don't know if you would tell a difference between TCS and PEP.

[400exBro]

why is the stock rebuild better then theirs ??

i like the ones the build becuase that way i am able to get a rezzy line and rezzy can and mount somewhere easily so i am able to play with the rebound and comp dails...

Fred tells how you like the lt tcs shocks??!!!!

i would like to know

thanks

[Bart]

Sorry. Just ordered them. Won't have the TCS shocks until the end of the month (quoted 30 days). Still also waiting for Arens to build some 2003 250R frames.

[QuadTrix6]

TCS are excellent shocks and are right up there with PEP, if i didn't get PEP i was definelty gonna get TCS...go for em

[infantry317]

Good luck

Looks like im gonna go with tcs shocks for my R. I want to have an LT front end but im still not sure yet. Im going to get a stock R rear shock and have TCS make it a ZPS shock. Later
