King Shock PRICE INCREASE

I follow filthy motorspots on Instagram and apparently King is going to raise the price of their shocks. Has anyone heard about this? I planned on going the King route but not sure now.

 

How much of an increase are we talking? They are already expensive as hell. But badass!!!

 

Not sure. FM didn't state a price.

 

Yea they are nice.

 

Have been going back and forth on a suspension, but I am not quite there yet, just need to save a little bit more money. Which is a bummer now, if this price increase is true. I'll probably end up going with ADS if King prices do go up...

 

Same. Sucks if it really is true.

 

Noticed the list price on wheelers was higher than normal the other day too

 

Order by 4/22... BS in my opinion

 

Okay. It says 5%-15% increase

 

Using a FOMO tactic....

 

It'll probably work too...

 

Unfortunately, yes it will.

 

Has me itching to buy

 

Ha, me too. But I'm holding tight. I don't want to over extend myself, so I still need to save just a little more. I've been putting King setups into my cart on various sites for like a month already

 

If you prefer the handling of a digressive shock, perhaps research ICONs? Bij at ToyTecLifts will hook you up.

 

"Effictive"?

 

Don't take this as being ass, but if someone is interested in buying Kings (which are progressive), I seriously doubt they prefer digressive valved shocks such as Icon.

I suppose anything is possible though. Some folks have the cash, or are dumb enought, to buy whatever is trending with little regard to technical/practical factors.

 

Not trying to derail this thread, but why would somebody choose one over the other? digressive vs progressive?

 

First off, I am not an expert. And there are some really good resources in the Suspension threads, or just via Google.

In short, Digressive valving will result in a more firm ride at slow speeds and will soften as speeds increase whereas Progressive will be more forgiving/softer at slower speeds and firms up as speeds increase.

Again, I am not an expert and this is only my personal take on the data/threads I've read. I fully admit I may be somewhat or completely wrong, and there is probably a lot more to the differences that I did not mention.
