Broken Front Shock: Replacement Options

[vipermike2002]

While I was out riding last weekend the left front shock broke. I need to get this replaced, what are my options? Where can I buy the replacement parts? Any recomendations for afterparket shocks?

THANKS

Replace BOTH front springs with after market strait rate springs. Pioneer Performance and Maxximum Performance both sell them. I'd go with the 2.3's if you ride aggressively. 2.1's if you are a slow poke. They are about $100.00 shipped from either place. No need to replace shocks. Jack up front of sled unhook shock, unscrew adjuster nuts and drop the spring off. When you replace the springs, DO NOT preload them. Tighten the nuts just enough to make contact with the spring with the front end jacked up. You'll love the difference in handling over the stockers. Get R Done! Or, I have a set of stockers that are mint. I'll make you a whale of a deal. PM me.

If you liked the stock springs I have mine I replaced with the ones mentioned about I could send them to you 25 plus shipping I wont use them as I am 260 without gear but the ones above do help for tipping in corners too.

Update your profile to where your located.
I have a set of used stock ones that you can have if your in my area and are able to arrange a pick-up.
or spend the $89US for the well worth upgrade. http://www.pioneerperformance.net/

Call Pioneer Performance for new shocks ....and replace both stock springs with straight rates. This is a very nice handling upgrade for not much $$$

I agree with JDKRXW, I have had great luck with them on both of my RX1's and my other Yami's

By the way, if you would still need springs, I have a set off my 05 that have about 450 mi on them. I took them out when I installed my Pioneer wide kit.

Those won't work on an RX-1.
