they look like there in good condition. There blown, but i woulda gotten them revalved anyways, so thats not gunna bother me. there just plain Tripple rates with rezzy. Theres no ZPS or Compression rebound. So what do you think there worth.

They cost $595 new, but their blown and used. I'd pay like $350+...

like 350 sounds about right and you can get them upgraded to ZPS too

You better do your homework before you purchase them with the idea that you want to upgrade them. Make sure they're not too old to be converted. If they're not too old, they can probably be converted to Limited MASS, or ZPS. Keep in mind that even if they can be converted, you're looking at quite a bit of parts, including compression adjustable reservoirs. Better consult with Wayne Mooridian or Mark Baldwin before you buy them!

If they don't have compression adjustable reservoirs, and they're blown, I wouldn't pay more than $250 for them. $350 would be a decent deal if they were fresh at all, but if they're blown BAD, you could be looking at new pistons, valves, shafts, seals, bladders, etc. If you had to stick that much money into them, you'd be better off to just buy some Limited MASS or ZPS.

Good luck.

If i were to upgrade them, id probobly only get compression adjustable. I dont know if i would want ZPS. I trail ride. And i dont see how i can get more travel yet have my quad sit lower?? I was thinking about all the streams i cross and all the rocky areas i ride. Im not sure how ZPS would help me.

well preload helps you sit lower by moving the shock farther into the shaft. Then when your shock hits a spot like in the air where it has no pressure on it it will open up all the way therfore getting you full suspension..................;)

I bought a set of used PEP standard front shocks used for 350, they were basically brand new, 350 for blown ones sounds kinda high. I talked to mark baldwin when i bought mine about having them converted to ZPS he said 1)to much money to put into a shock rebuild and 2) its not worth his time messing around with them. I know TCS can convert them and i also talked to the Quad Shop about converting them to ZPS about 6 months ago but i can't remeber what kinda price they quoted me. Hope i helped answer sum questions
