Uf21 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I've got several good deals from him. He sold me the rims for $140 shipped and they were in pretty nice shape. This is minkia in disguise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeOxbig Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Matt is a cool dude. I see him all the time working on shocks, and his wife is pretty good looking too. Matt never sees me though, but his work looks great from his garage window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubberDick Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Matt is a homo, but i do like the full service I get at his house while he is at the shop working on shocks. And sorry matt the child support will be a little late this month, still waiting on my obama bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbowrenchhead Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Back to the subject at hand. I installed the shock yesterday. The race sag is better. Before it was 6" when I sat on it and the preload was full max. Now I have the GT and I have the preload cranked down to about 80% and I have 4" of race sag. So its an improvement.

turbowrenchhead Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I filled out a spec sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbowrenchhead Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 There is also very little sag from fully extended to relaxed. Its only a 1/2" or so. I heard that you want it to sag more then that from a full extended position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbowrenchhead Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 This is what I went off from GT's site: How to measure ride height: There are 2 places you need to measure from the bottom of the frame to theground (with rider standing on the pegs): 1) Right at the foot pegs 2) 22 inches forward from foot pegs To measure ride height - the rider must be standing on the footpegs and the measurement needs to be taken from the bottom of theframe to the ground at the 2 points mentioned above. How to measure race sag. 1. Race sag is the amount the quad settles from fully extendedwith the rider on board. First,put the quad up on a stand,measure the distance from the axle (vertically) to some point on thesub frame (make a mark if you need to). 2. Take the quad off the stand, put the rider on board standingon the pegs, have the rider hold onto something for balance, bounceup and down a little to stabilize the rear end. Now again measure the distance from the axle to the point onthe sub frame where you took the measurement in #1. 3. Now deduct the measurement from #2 from the measurement in#1. This is your RaceSag. 4. To adjust Race Sag tighten or loosen the preload adjustingcollars. If you havetoo much race sag, you need more preload, too little race sag youneed less preload. My measurements: Race sag 3 1/2 inches Ride height Peg 9 3/16" Front 9 5/8" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbowrenchhead Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I have to send my rear shock back to GT Thunder because they didn't get it right the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coupelx Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 The spring matt sent me was still too soft for my setup so he is sending me another one along with a label to ship the other one back. Thats service! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I have to send my rear shock back to GT Thunder because they didn't get it right the first time. Sucks. Should've had Matt build it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulvafan537240 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 50 Cal suspension systems > GT thunder. I'm sure he would've gladly helped you. Should've sent a pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbowrenchhead Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I sent it to GT per Matt's referral due to the fact he was too busy and he was pissed that I started this thread. GT Thunder is switching out the spring at no charge. I still have to pay for shipping once again. I'm just not very happy with them when they just went ahead and charged another $95 bucks without approval last time. If I did that to my customers I would loose customers over that fact. So I got overcharged and they didn't get it right the first time. I wonder if they even looked at my spec sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
