    Just a few
    Is there much difference in performance from the regular Coilovers to the one with the resi's? I have Icons with out resi's now and they have been great for me. Just wondering if the extra money is worth it for the resi?

    Are these better than Kings?

    Is that what they're comparing to in their "us vs the competition" breakdown?

    Pretty sure they're comparing to all the other big names.

    They have pictures of their product next to another product. Could be a 5100 or could be a King.

    Let's not get crazy here. No WAY ADS is better than 5100's

    I know you're joking but hopefully you see my point - a picture of their product next to a clearly inferior product means a lot more if it's a King than if it's a 5100.

    I know the answer from speaking with vendors and ADS. They're not talking about 5100's.

    5100's are not their competition. Icon, Fox, and Kings are.

    In my book:

    ADS>King>Icon>Cox>OME>Billies>Wancho

    My opinion..

    Everyone will argue the different valving, etc. Digressive, progressive, cant compare the names etc, blah blah blah..

    Well yeah, obviously, based on pricing and specs. I guess my question is: is the technical breakdown applicable to all of their competition? Or is that a particular cherry picked shock that actually isn't really their competition at all?

    The pictures are not a 5100 or a shock that is similar to that. They are comparing their shock against a fully rebuildable serviceable shock.

    I know this doesn't label specific brand but I can tell you it is one that they are commonly compared against.

    Marie, per my personal experience and what I've seen in multiple threads, has gone way out of her way to earn vendor of the year. Stellar service :thumbsup:
