    So basically what you're saying is you haven't run them? I want to know from someone who uses them how well they are built and how they perform. I could care less where they're made, I want a review.

    Afford gas? If you can't afford gas for desert runs your in the wrong hobby. I always laugh when I see people say that.

    I was thinking the same thing, I have been at work watching the leaderboard on race-dezert and BJ was the first to pass the 1k mark, then I looked on dirtnewz and it shows Vildasola crossed first

    Travel Wise:

    Giant > DMZ > Defind

    Ease of Install:

    Defined = Giant (Bolt on, aside from Spring perches). DMZ has to be welded

    Quality:

    DMZ = Defined (Top notch). People have had issues with Giant kit rubbing and what not.

    All work in the same way. 15-18" Travel is all you reallly need in the rear before the front can't really keep up. I'd recommend DMZ or Defined Depending on what you're taste is:cool:

    Hey guys,

    Quick question. When you buy fiberglass (since we're on the topic) do you have to paint it? I heard if you don't, UV rays crack the fiberglass and slowly destroys it.

    Thanks
