Zbroz's A-Arms Exit Shox or Timbersled/WCS A-Arms Fox Shox

[croc79]

I bought some zbroz's a-arms with exit shocks to replace my west coast sled a-arms. I installed them and they look and fit great. Much better design than stock and WCS/Timbersled a-arms IMO. I didn't buy them last season because of the price. Zbroz $ 900, Timbersled $850 and West Coast Sleds $700 (purchased WCS $450 new on ebay). It seems like Timbersled and WCS A-arms are basically the same and both weigh less. I'm becoming less of a fan of Fox Shox. It seems like the only advantage of Fox is the weight. What is your option on A-arms and Shocks?

Im in a similiar situation.

Today I have the stock front suspension and Float evol X. Evols are good but how good Im not sure.... To many settings to change and play with maybe.

Im ordering the Zbroz front suspension and thinking of also getting their Exit X1 shocks?? They are built rider weight and riding style.

What to do???

I get a killer deal on the Zbroz with Exit X1 shocks. 1620 shipped to Norway.

I agree with what you say about the evol Xs, but I feel it takes time and skills to set up the shock correct, and evols have tons of different settings. We also have a short season, so limited time to test.

A shock that is built for my weight and riding style may be better for me.

Im sure there is alot of riders with adjustable shocks that drives around with the wrong settings.

Just a note for anyone interested in or has a Z-broz that I wouldnt run them with float evol's/ evol x's, If you mount them as far as possible they are only about !1/8" from the uper a arms. Any sub frame flex/bend and you will hit the evol chamber. I just found out this problem last weekend and thought it may help someone in the future. The best route if you wanted to stay float would probably be the standard float x's with a remote chamber like the muffin works one.

I ordered the zbroz front end and Exit x1 shocks. Only downside is the three week wait....

Sold the evols Xs.
