Its alot cheaper to order through one of their dealers then ordering direct from Marvin Shaw... They told me they dont like to undercut there dealers. I got my set from www.quadwerks.com I may have a set for sale that is near new.. I just got them in april. My fronts are 12.5" and rear is 12.25" with out taking anything off the shock. So they can go shorter if needed. I'll know for sure in about a week or 2 if I'll be selling them.

Oh I agree it can be cheaper elsewhere, I just really like the quick turn around time they provided. They rebuilt 4 shocks for me in a day. I imagine they could set new ones up in the same time. I'm just partial though, when I get treated exceptionally well at one place, I'll go back even if it costs a little more. :shrug:

 

I only run fronts on mine, and they are 12.25". I plan to take a half inch out of them for next year and stiffen them up a nut hair, it sits good now but I think it would do better a little lower all around.

 

I think the ride height you're talking about (11.75") would work well :beer:

I guess turnaround time depends on the season.. It took 2months turn around on mine. They were backed up. Tim said it was dead for about 3 months and then they got hammerd. But they are some of the nicest people over there. I placed my order through quadwerks and then called them directly to ask some questions and change my order.. Great people for sure!

Very true!! At the time I talked to them they quoted me one week turnaround, sent them on Monday and got them back that Friday. Becky did mention they were in their "off" season.

 

To have the shocks shortened you just send them off, they can sometimes take out a spacer in the shock, or just cut the shaft and rebuild it. I think it's 50 bucks a shock for a complete rebuild (new seals, re-fill, etc), unless you need a new shaft (longer one) then its a little more $$$.

and shafts are $45 for the front and $65 for the rear. I just got a quote from them last month. :biggrin:
