Let's talk coilovers!
Where are all you veteran builders sourcing your coilovers? My thoughts right now are to use a used set of front coilovers off a banshee 350 or similar since they sell on ebay for around $30 a pair. My problem is I want more travel, and I'm not sure if they will handle the weight.
What are your opinions? What have you guyes used? This is a low dollar build so please don't say king coils lol Thanks guys! |

Re: Let's talk coilovers!
Ok, thanks...Ive been looking at air shocks as well, it looks like you can get longer travel at a much lower price...I dunno what to do, Suspension confuses the crap outta me.

Re: Let's talk coilovers!
Rear shocks aren't a big deal with a solid axle in the rear. I will be running FOA coilovers on the front of my cart.

Re: Let's talk coilovers!
Avoid those. I bought a set and were crap. I actually think the reservoirs are fake. I tried adding air to them and it made no difference.
 I ended up using Fox Podium shocks off of a Polaris predator four wheeler. |

Re: Let's talk coilovers!
Good luck finding 20" coilovers. They are out there, but not from an atv. You'll likely have to go with sand rail shocks, and they are like $1500 a set. You'll be good with some high end Works brand shocks from a YFZ450, they are $550 a set, very tough and durable, they will be in the 16"-17" range.
You can go with stock Suzuki LTZ400 front shocks, they are 16" and will run about $100 used in good condition off fleabay. How much travel are you looking for? |

$1500 a set for sand car coilovers??? I don't have $1500 in all 4 of the ones on my sandcar... 20" coilovers will be over 45" tall from eye to eye. I will be using 8" stroke coilovers on the front of my cart. If you check FOA's website, you may find some competetive pricing. I will be doing alot of sand dune riding with my cart along with my sand rail. So, I want a smooth ride to where it will not hurt when I jump my cart... Keeping peeking on Ebay and you will find a set that you are looking for!  |
