Good lord man. Looks like gene hackmans cage in enemy of the state

 

haha..idk what that is haha

Could get more intense if i get a scan gauge and then AFR and boost gauge on the steering wheel..

 

Movie from the 90's with will smith and gene hackman. Basically about an over reaching government

 

are these the same P# you have? I have been able to successfully source Fox w/ Res 10" travel, but they are "universals" and sounds like they will need to be revalved.

I also have heard from DSM, saying Fox has very long wait times for customizing them.

 

Do you have hand tools and a vice? surely you could re valve them yourself and get them charged somewhere locally.

 

Probably could. Would rather see what other options I have before going down that road

 

@Speedytech7 just picked up some foa's. Intrigued me.

 

They do have APRS for Apple, But its Apple so really who would want it.

Sure did, spose I'll revalve and rebuild those myself soon

 

I had not heard of them until the FS thread popped up. What made you want them, other than the 50% mark down

 

why did you waste your hard earned money on that that garbage?

 

are you talking current state of them, or the actual product?

 

The product.

I don't even know what they look like.

 

i haven't seen anyone run them, any supportive information behind them being garbage, or just because they aren't the status quo?

 

a quick google will show case there rep.

Terrible machining quality control. Leaky seals like sivs.

Not a good rep of a company. People say in the last year or so they have improved but i still wouldn't run them.

 

I did a little research before I bought the set, they are just 2.5 10" stroke with resis. FOA seems to have gone through some restructuring and I have yet to hear anything bad about customer service. In my case I figure with a fresh rebuild and going in such a generic location it won't be a huge deal to change them out for something else down the road if they don't work out. But I will say from most of the forum posts I've read on other sites, they're really active about answering questions about rebuilding, revalving and problems with their product. They're not a huge operation, and Chris seems like he genuinely want to do whatever he can to improve his product. Either way, for what I paid it isn't a big deal either way and it will get me moving on revamping the rear end.

 

@SconnieHailer school me on custom valving

 

Best way to get you started is here:

A LOT of trial and error is involved if you want to really dial in a specific feel. But there are lots of base line stacks out there for given manufacturers that will get you pretty close. It also is highly dependent on how you will drive them and your specific rig's specs. It's fun to open them up and play with different shim configurations but it's not for everyone.

 

well best of luck with them haha
