    At this point giving you shit is more fun then giving you an answer. But that answer is King or Fox. Again.

    I'd go with Fox 2.5 elites over King as they've got aluminum housings. Probably hold up better in the elements. Although the blue on the kings is bling.

    @Tyler Sexton do you have a budget? Like mentioned before… if you are on a budget and want something good I’d wait for a used set of kings or fox :curls:. If you don’t mind the price then go big and buy new :headbang:
    :spending:

    Two different threads stated a $6k budget

    By now that should be roughly $8k since he hasn't bought shit?

    I've seen the opposite. There's a fairly big thread somewhere on here about the Fox corroding

    Does that include turbo from the other thread?

    Can't find it; it's been years. But plenty of hits to explore if you type "fox corrosion". Maybe you're suggesting the Elites fixed it?

    The elite's are relatively new, so I haven't seen anything corrosion related on them. I have seen/read about it on ads, kings, and fox race series. Guess I'll find out as I ordered 2.5 elites today. Although, I live in the desert so:notsure:

    Instead of a turbo why not a supercharger?
